Today was our one day to see London and wouldn't you know it, it was pouring rain and 7C. We pressed on tho, undeterred, and took the tube to Liverpool street station to first meet up with Natalia, mum's school friend Val's daughter. She'd taken a 2 hour journey from Norwich to meet us and we were so pleased to be able to have a nice leisurely catch up over lunch. She and her family are well and keeping busy with the girls, work and travel. Looking forward to seeing them all in Canada this summer. Be sure to pack the mosquito repellent!
After lunch we got the Hop on / Hop off bus tour of London. Taking onto account the weather and our limited time, we decided this would be the best way to see the highlights. We stopped in at Harrods to buy a few souvenirs and then reached the end of the line at Buckingham Palace. The royal standard was not flying so we felt safe to approach the Queen's residence in our soggy trainers and the plastic ponchos provided by the tour bus company. If she'd been home, she would have been mortified!
Back at Bob's, we got the photos out again and also poured through some of Auntie Winnie's correspondence leaving us wondering .... "What ever happened to Frances?"
