And, here's Dad at Paddington Station with Paddington Bear. You all know the story of Paddington Bear don't you?

Some more London......

We had dinner in several pubs while we were there. We had heard that "Pub Grub" was getting better all the time and we found it to be so. Here I am, in my new hat for warmth, looking a bit like a deranged newsboy.

Day two

Here is Dave standing in front of our "tiny" hotel. Our room was very small, but adequate. Didn't spend a whole lot of time in it anyway. The free breakfast was great and the staff, lovely. We got on the tube, did our best to "Mind the Gap" and headed for the Parliament Square area. We wanted to visit Parliament but it was closed. So, off to Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and all the things there are to see in that area. At about 3 in the afternoon we went back to the Abbey for evensong services. Always wonderful. Then back on the tube to our favorite restaurant in the Lancaster Gate area. It's Italian and called Taomina. Had been there twice before, the last time with Muf. Good day.
