Yesterday we popped down to London for the day.
We met Youngest daughter and then we parked up near St Paul's and wandered over the Millennium bridge towards Tate modern...Just outside the gallery, the RSPB were set up with their telescopes focused on some Falcons.
The peregrines sat hunkered into the wind high up on the huge chimney stack...(Incidentally Peregrine is the word origin for Pilgrim meaning something like wanderer...)
So that was very interesting, but then we had lunch inside which was very tasty and pleasant...
We walked up to the steps of St Paul's and there was a dance group performing a modern movement in celebration of the Olympic handover, very cultural..
We went inside and although we were unable to get under the dome and into the inner sanctum the filigree and artwork up inside the Cupolas really impressed us all...
Back in the car for a quick razz along the embankment and into Trafalgar square stopped at some traffic lights and observed a drunk pissing in a phone box..We were very close to it...
Parked up and wandered along brick lane market...Felt like somewhere in the world, not at all England...A quick drink in Daughters pub, cool and relaxed...The red arrows whooshed overhead everyone glanced at each other a bit scared.
Then whipped up the M forty and home
