London calling...

We had a fab day in London. The weather was good and apart from forgetting that I was heading to Paddington to meet Lynetta and instead headed for Victoria as if I was going to work...everything went well!


Lynetta

We started with coffee in Starbucks and catching up, then headed for Westminster, the London Eye and the Southbank. For a couple of hours we wandered along watching the street entertainers and taking loads of photos. Some were the obligatory statues but they had a couple of brightly painted lizzards who cycled madly when money was dropped into their tins, a 'dog' in a cage, snow white and a few other characters. We passed an exhibition of paintings, an old fashioned merry go round, ate lunch in Gabriels Wharf, went up to the observation deck of the Oxo building, crossed the Millennium Bridge and then headed up past St Pauls Cathedral, the Royal Courts of Justice and up to Covent Garden where I found a cool mirror handmade from Lime which will look perfect in my hall if I ever get around to decorating it!

Thanks Lyn...I really enjoyed our day!
