Big Ben and the London Eye

Westminster Abbey

We had a beautiful day.

First full day in London

We got up early and went to King's Cross station and boarded a train for Grantham, England. Our friends George and Edna picked us up at the station and we began our day. We started by looking at this memorial in front of the Guild Hall, that George was instrumental in having erected. It is to honor all the fallen men of England, who fought in wars since 1945. From there we went inside the Hall for a tour and then on out into the country side for a great lunch.

We went inside the Guild Hall in downtown Grantham and this gentleman gave us a wonderful tour and told us amazing things about the town. It's been in existence since before the Romans

Here's George pointing to the sign for the lovely spot where we ate lunch. It was an old hunting lodge and has been converted to a small inn.

We've been to Grantham several times to visit our friends. Whenever we go they fly the American flag in front of their house. Always makes me a little teary.

Been away for a while........

Since I last posted, life has been sorta of busy. I went to Santa Barbara for a few days to give Martha a hand as she wasn't feeling very well. Augie, however, was doing just fine. Here's a little photo of him, just "hanging out".
We then had Thanksgivine here and the following Monday flew of to London for a week. Had a wonderful time, but are glad to be home. More photos to follow.
