London 8/23 -24 2024 What a City

 Time is going fast.

Took a 2-hour train ride to Bourmouth to visit my friend Gulsen.  We met on a Friendship Force trip in 2018 in Mexico.  Visited her when I was in London with Cheryl.  She's so nice.  Cooked me a lovely breakfast and took me out in the country to see wild horses and heather in bloom, purple....a first for me.  Lovely.  A bit of a drizzly day, but this is England.





Fell in love with her origami boat
People from Japan.  I want to learn
to make this.  Said it takes 6 hours for a pro.

Beautiful tree with red berries

Heather, overcast so doesn't
Show purple as bright.

We saw probably over 100
Wild horses in the area.


Little village





Quite a roof

Thatched roof.  This bird is the thatchers 
Mark. Like a trademark.

Train station.  I love the roof.

 
Day with my London guide.








The real Braveheart.



Kneeling pads.  Never saw
Any like this before.


Steve. My London guide.



Shopping area  Spitalfelds 


A favorite lunch. Chips
and beer.

The beautiful Tower Bridge

These are bridges for moving barrels
From front warehouse to back and visa versa.  Greenwich Docks.








Walked under The Thames.


This part shows repair after bombing in WWII


Louise and me.  We had so much fun together.  She showed me so much.

Chapel at Military Academy.





Queens House, Greenwich 






Ran out of steam for descriptions
  Any questions. Please ask.
