We aren't in Bracebridge anymore!











































So many excellent picture opportunities in London but not nearly enough space on this Blog to share them all. Here is just a few from top to bottom.
Beautiful tulips in full bloom in front of Prince Charles home.
A really neat mural on the side of a funky store in Chelsea. topped off with a crown!
Deb trying to call home in one of the many red phone booths in London.
Westminster Abbey which had a line up that extended around the block as of yesterday. Thank goodness we visited it last trip to London.
Big Ben in the background and the famous black taxi cabs of London.
Possibly practicing for the Royal Wedding were all forms of military cadets. Whitehall Road was closed, which is part of the Wedding Procession route and these cadets were working hard in the hot sun.
A guard in full uniform in 80 degree weather....dedicated and stoic fellow.
This funny little vehicle follows the horses, and you guessed it, cleans the horse poop...a horse poop street cleaner.
This is Buckingham Palace where my good friends, Betty and Phil, live. They are a bit busy (with the Wedding...whatever) so we haven't had time for tea. Yet.
Last but not least is 'Little Ben' another chiming clock but a fraction of the size.
One more thing that Deb and I didn't get a picture of, but you will have to take our word for it. Riding a double decker bus is like a roller coaster ride at Wonderland. OMG!!! We sat in the seats at the very front, second level of the bus. We were like two children laughing out loud. It was so much fun. How they can drive through the narrow streets, and on the wrong size of the road at a good speed is truly inspiring.
