Hackney is a building site

At least the bit west of the Kingsland High Road.

Ian took me to lunch at The Rosemary Branch, which would ordinarily involve a walk down the Regent's Canal tow path. However there is so much building work happening down their his dog fell in the water last time.

So we went through the building site instead. It's raining windy, noisy and cold. I was glad when we got to the pub and didn't want to leave.
