Uncle Gordon took us on a personal tour of Westminster Abbey and the Westminster School – where he was a student many moons ago (in his class: the opera singer Ian Bostrich and the actress Helena Bonham Carter). The Abbey is crammed full of burial sites and monuments to English monarchs and literary figures. They even let a few actors in (go figure): Larry Olivier, Edmund Kean, and Henry Irving. The kids did the Abbey’s scavenger hunt and earned giant gold coin chocolates for their perseverance. After the tour, Gordon showed us the school’s courtyard, and we wondered if Dec or Cal might follow some years from now. Here’s a picture of Cal pondering his options:
We returned to Mayfair to do our grocery shopping. The boys decided to use their money to buy some souvenirs – a Big Ben keychain and pocketwatch (Declan) and an I-Heart-Justin Beeber sweatshirt (Callum). Dinner. Hotel Pool. Bedtime for boys. Now I’m off for a pint with my bro. - Blake
Blake, you are clearly not a 'Belieber' in Justin Bieber! Sounds like a fantastic time so far. You guys rock!
