What did we learn today?
1. The early cherry blossoms are in bloom in St James Park.
2. You are not allowed to feed the pelicans in St. James. (Lest I think that Declan is not listening to the various tours…yesterday at Westminster we found out that one of the many symbols for Jesus is the pelican. It is included in the stained glass windows there. Something about the pelican pricking itself to feed its young = stigmata = Jesus. So today when we saw the pelicans in the park he called them the Jesus birds.)
3. Being a Royal Guard in front of Buckingham palace would not be my number one choice for a career. Heavy bear hats and not much to do but pace.
4. The Churchill War rooms are terrific. They even had a recording for 10 and unders that was perfect for Cal. Great feeling of what it must have been like to be down there during the bombings. Dec was thrilled. Blake and I are rapidly approaching the WW2 saturation point.
5. Laundry is expensive in London – 3 loads x 3.50 pounds per load ( at an exchange rate of 1 pound = $1.63) + drying = $20.02 YIKES! Sure beats the hotel doing it for you though. 1 shirt laundered for the low low price of 3 pounds. Each.
7. Cal and Declan have become addicted to tea. With lots of milk and sugar.

WHAT?? There's a WW2 Saturation Point??
ReplyDeleteThat's me above - and let me know if I need to book Tim and Ray on the next flight....
ReplyDeleteHey this is Tim giving you a angry rant about this so called "saturation point" I am outraged at your anti -war propaganda. You haven't even gotten to France or Germany the cradle of nazism. And if your also tapped out on world war1 when you haven't gotten to France I will fly over there and take Declan and Cal myself. This is madness you haven't seen the beachheads, Battlefields, trenches, Luftwaffe, Panzers, Artillery shell craters, etc. Your crushing Declan's dreams of finding war artifacts. I hope this message has changed your mind about this so called Saturation point.
ReplyDeleteI predict the Cal-in-the-Bieber-sweatshirt pic will be a very useful blackmail tool in 15-20 years. Don't delete it!
ReplyDeleteDear,Timmy I completely agree with you. I have not seen a gun in a week and I am starting to lose it. Did you know that your parents are thinking of going to Germany to see my parents without you!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?! Please talk some sense into them. We have got to see a battlefield together while we are there. Tell your parents I am willing to donate 100 euros to the cause of your plane ticket.By the way I am trying to convince my parents to stop by your place on the way back to see the boat burn. From,Declan
ReplyDeleteI'm begging my mom to go she says maybe and so does my dad and we might go early and go to hamburg and meet up with you your family agrees in hamburg we can go to a panzer (tank) museum. Sydney will not be able to go which is not a bad thing or good because we would not see her that much because she does not like war stuff.
