We travelled down the Thames to Greenwich where I took his picture at the helm of the Cutty Sark. Near Westminister, I took his picture in front of Churchill's statue.(Made my mother proud!) A distant relative of mine, whose family were members of a guild which historically ruled the center of London, where the Queen to this day must ask permission to enter.<BR/><BR/>This week one of my nieces is moving to London to live and work at the National Science Museum there. We will have reasons to go and visit.Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-6950742093058726572008-01-01T21:14:00.000-05:002008-01-01T21:14:00.000-05:00What a beautiful city.

I have been looking forward to your pictures and stories of your trip. The concern must have been a fantastic experience.

Four years ago we spent Christmas Eve in the queue waiting to get into the King's College chapel to listen to the same group perform the Nine Lessons and Carols. We heard them best when they walked around the queue singing for the waiting crowd. Since we spent five hours in the line, that was a welcome respite. I suspect that your seats were more comfortable than the folding chairs they packed into the chapel.<BR/><BR/>Welcome home! A late Merry Christmas, and a Joyful New Year!Climenheisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01989459133238230712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-12138095524540369392008-01-01T16:04:00.000-05:002008-01-01T16:04:00.000-05:00I once read London by Rutherford (I think) and qui...I once read <I>London</I> by Rutherford (I think) and quite enjoyed it. Then I tried to read his <I>Sarum</I> and wasn't impressed enough to finish.

The gherkin is certainly a curious structure, isn't it?
