Photos
Blogger and my computer are friends today! So, where were we? I just thought I'd go through my photos and relive some highlights, though as previously stated, it was all a highlight.
London is a very large and busy city, full of wonderful things to see. Of course there are unattractive, concrete buildings like any city, but the history, often beautiful, is everywhere. There are also a lot of fashionable young people, women invariably in high heels and often, surprisingly to us, smoking. I suppose they don't really notice the beauty and history of the city they work in.
I LOVE lions. I'm Aslan's girl you see. Wouldn't it be great to be this lady? Except maybe with her top pulled up a bit. She walks in front of Buckingham Palace that is just in the middle of the city. You walk around a very ordinary corner and there it is.
I found this gentle lion in the British Museum. I thought I took a photo of the sign telling me where he came from but I can't find it. I think he was from Syria or Turkey and is very, very old.
This pig was also in the museum and he is from around 1500 BC! I love his snout.
We walked so much in London that not only were our legs tired and sore, I actually wore out the heels of my new shoes. After we left London we found a new way to get exercise. This is Andrew running with Koppie and Brandy. Andrew was running, the dogs were humouring him. We did see the greyhounds run, very gracefully, but no man could keep up!
We showed you the most famous crooked house in Lavanham. This was down another, still crooked, street. The way the houses all jut onto the street at different angles took my fancy, and the glimpse of field in the distance.
After we left Pam's and headed towards the Cotswolds and Cally and Aunty Bunny, we stopped in at Oxford, a much bigger (it seemed to me) and busier town than Cambridge. There was one thing that I had to see. CS Lewis, Tolkien and their writer friends called themselves the Inklings and met here, at the Eagle and Child to drink and read and discuss each other's work. It was a great thrill for me to go into a building that CS Lewis has been in, silly I suppose, but I do love him very much.
