le tout

Fixed computer = pictures. Enjoy!

The Tower of London, home to Beefeaters (Royal Guards), the royal jewels, crowns and coronation gifts, among them the second largest diamond in the world, and some amazing architecture.

George's son, Hal, solemnly prepares for the tour by checking the map.

Our Beefeater tour guide! A great storyteller.

A great shot of Lina and the view of the London Bridge from the Tower walls.

The Camden Markets


Very high end beauty shop with complimentary teas and champagne!

The opera singer (right) in the middle of the market. 

A fine day of people-watching at Russell Square Park. I love this pa and kid!

A fabulous little girl.

A sort of spooky dog walker and her very old dogs - Hades and the Three Fates?

These four got their dogs twisted up, a cute meeting.

A freezing bollocks day at Buckingham Palace.

Our day at Harrod's - simply marvellous. This is the Egyptian room. I think it had watches. So over the top. 

The chocolate room, or heaven.

This tea is made with 22 carat gold. GOLD! 200 GBP for 100g. Silly.

Mollie paid the equivalent of $15 for this extravagant gelato. Worth it!
Mollie gets to know a Beefeater and Bobby Bear in the soft toy room. What a great day!
More pictures soon!

  1. These pictures are fabulous! Everything is so golden and fresh to my eyes (even though things are several hundreds of years old in some cases).
    I miss you.
    I miss tea with you.
    I miss you Dallas.
    I miss you in San Antonio.
    I miss you in the morning.
    I miss you in the evening.
    I miss you when the sun goes down.
