Depending on which Eldon Street it is.

A seafood restaurant, if it's Eldon Street in Barney, South Yorkshire.
I'm not sure what she will be looking for if it's Eldon Street in London. There's a coffee shop near there, but...

If it's even a real street.....

Lovely picture of the taxi, though. smiley - ok

i guess I"m supposed to wonder how Mrs. Wilson feels about her home, which is hard considering that she was picked up at a taxi stop, and has not reached her destination by story's end. Unless you could consider the taxi itself as a sort of home....

I'm babbling now, and I'm not proud of that. smiley - blush

How many calories?
Songs about Valeries?
How many stupid thoughts
Playing in my head?

How many types of teas
Drunk by the Japanese?
One more stupid thought
Laying in my bed.

Should I plant some poppies?
Are they any good for bees?
One more stupid plan
Eyelids feel like lead.

Are there only Oriental fleas
On every feline Siamese?
Stupid, stupid thoughts like these
Running through my head.

How many nights like these?
Let me have an hour, please?
Haunted by the Ferryman
Wide awake instead.

Outside the windows freeze
Frosty leaves upon the trees.
Dawn's light begins to tease,
All chance of sleep has fled.
