London Part 1

Since all eyes are on London these days I thought it would be the perfect time to post some favorite pics. 

Big Ben

Much of the discussion of late has been about the weather… 

since London just had its rainiest second quarter ever. 

I can relate. 

When Edward and I visited in 1992, we had rain every day of our two week trip. 

HMS Belfast

At one point we were watching a sheep herding contest on tv (yes really) and the announcer labeled the steady drizzle “lovely weather” without a trace of irony. 

The London Eye

But then when we visited in 2006,

Parliament

London was in the middle of a drought. 

It was surreal.

Westminster Abbey

 Just look at this photo of the Tower of London surrounded by brown instead of its typical green carpet.
