when does it end?

  Just some pictures I liked from London


Kids from area schools came up with the designs for seats along the Thames



Church of St. Dunstan stood for a long time in London.,  The church was rebuilt in 1666, and again in 1871.  In 1941 bombs destroyed all but the steeple and in 1971 it was made into a park.  It is small, but peaceful and a sad reminder of WW II




Kensington Palace


Ok....the person on the left pays to swing and then let go.  The guy on the right catches them, hopefully.  If the catcher misses, they payee falls  gently into a net.  We watched 3 people swing, but only one was caught.  


Albert was the love of Victoria's life.  This monument is gigantic!  The corners represent the corners of the globe.  North America features Native Americans and a bison.  The memorial is a beautiful work of art.






4,000....that's the answer to a question.  What's the question?




Of course, we found a telephone box!  And the phone inside really worked!!!





The round thing is a letter collection box.



We were looking at this boat and a man working on the boat told us that this was a funeral vessel for Winston Churchill.  The boat brought his body up the Thames.  The large box like structure toward the back was specially built to hold the coffin.


That's all folks!!!!

Peace and Love
