after a leisurely start to the day with pastries and a flat white down the road at the argentinian cafe we found last time, we discovered that the cutty sark restoration is complete, so we're off there next, having already been to the observatory where we straddled the meridian and saw lots of clocks, watches and telescopes.
we had a squiz at that painted gallery and chapel at the naval college and a blast at the greenwich visitor centre which includes dress-ups.
alas, although it's still very early in our trip we've already noticed a spot of tourist leg and museum foot.
i'd also forgotten the joy of watching geoff deal with his daypack. It's an orderly procedure involving lots of zipping and sighing, interspersed with brief moments of panic and bewilderment... "my wallet!"... "my phone!"... and it's never quick.
The Plume and Feathers dates back to the 17th century and it's suitably dark and cosy. They've just put a whole basket of sachets on the table: tomato sauce, mayonnaise and HP sauce... Oh, and a small flask of vinegar. So pleased we ordered chips now.
hi,I`m into this techno stuff now, the pick of the lady with the crown looked lovely and sort of familier
ReplyDeleteThe observatory's good ay. Awesome weather here, but still a bit envious of you two. Sighing at the thought of the covered market. If you get to Bath there's an awesome fudge shop right in town. You can watch the fudge being made on a slab of marble. Hope you have good weather for Sissinghurst. I still am not over my brick wall fetish after going there... Sold some lambs and got not bad $ considering they weren't all that big really. Ooo and new shoes on sale for 70. Red.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you guys getting into the best of British culture-warm beer and chips!
ReplyDeleteHi ho! Just back from .Collingwood so have got younonline now. Had a lovely time ...sounds as if you are too!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love squirrels???? I know they are basically furry rats but so sweet....
It looks rather cool. Have to say I had a gloriously fine week but I'm told it was posy here.
Plan to have a quietism weekend! Bit tired after a busy week...had a lovely walk in the bush on Wednesday evening. You'd have been impressed.
Ciao....
Ah, the old London Pride. Nice.
ReplyDeleteactually they were attack squirrels - little buggers came straight at my feet... sisters will know that this has never been the type of rodent action that works for me - Sal here - can't be bothered logging in as me... we are off to the Tower today - it's absolutely freezing bloody cold here - jolly old England - we are having fun, tho, so that's ok
