| Why, yes, that is me riding a carousel with a special girl. |
Remember that children’s rhyme? The next line was “I’ve been to London to see
the Queen.”
Well, yes—we’ve been away.
Hence no blog for…oh,
awhile.
And, like Pussy Cat, we’ve been
to
London. We didn’t see the Queen, though last summer we did actually see the Queen’s “house” when we toured Buckingham
Palace and saw the Royal Collection—an amazing collection of paintings.
So, here’s what we saw on this trip:

Something else we saw, but...didn’t see exactly.
As we passed Lord's Cricket Ground, on our way to St. John's Wood, where we attended church in a lovely Church of England church--I noted this poster.
Advertising the second test of the Ashes. OK—if you
have to ask, you don’t know what it is.
Cricket. Enough said.
The second test was played at Lord's Cricket Ground--sort of the Holy Grail of cricket. But, already I've exhausted my knowledge of this sport.
(The fourth test of the Ashes has now been played elsewhere, and England did rather well.)
The St. John's Wood church is one of my favorite churches in the world. Now, I have not been in that many...considering how many there must be worldwide. But I've been a few and I love the classic interior of this church, with its fantastic acoustics. The church has an 8 member choir--that's all. And yet they sing beautifully, full voiced and thrilling to hear.
The remaining sights were personal and familial.
Such as...

| A little girl who likes to jump in muddy puddles |
 |
| a little girl showing Papa the ropes! |
 |
| Two little girls with crash helmets...which they need when they ride their scooters! |
Nearby where we were visiting is a large recreation area--lots of excitement there, including a local fair. See the photo at the top of this blog.
Also various types of transportation.
 |
| A tractor picking up trash in the park |
 |
| An air ambulance picking up a patient |
 |
Two dear people riding a teacup!
BUT, BEST OF ALL, WE SAW THESE PEOPLE! (and one is brand new)
