Noel, Andrea and I headed into London for what
turned out to be a very long day. We left home at 8.30am
and didn't get back until about 11 o'clock!
We got off the train and came across some Morris Dancers.
Of course Andrea said she planned it!
Didn't notice the happy photo bomber until we got home!
Portobello Road. Such an interesting place
with hundreds of people everywhere.
I found this 1796 cross-stitch
along with many other very old ones.
I would have loved to bring one home with me
but unfortunately they were out of my price range.
Andrea got us tickets to the Crown to Couture
exhibition at Kensington Palace.
We were very lucky as it was finishing a few days later.
We saw the most amazing clothes.
This dress and suit were from c1730.
Came out of the palace to pouring rain so
we bought a bit of Melbourne to Kensington!
We gave Andrea the umbrella to remind her of home.
Dinner at The Champion pub just near the palace.
When we came out the rain had stopped
so we kept exploring and enjoying London at night.
Walked around the corner and look what I saw - the Liberty Store!
We only had 15 minutes before the store closed
but still managed to get myself a couple of things!
Soho.
Piccadilly Circus.
Leicester Square.
We spent the next day at the Tower of London.
Yeoman Warder "Beefeater".
Tower Bridge.
St Paul's Cathedral.
