London/Esher

Temperature: A cool 8 degrees here in London this morning. A high of 11 degrees in Esher this afternoon.

Today we walked from Marble Arch to Buckingham Palace where we joined a short queue at the Queens Gallery to see the Holbein Exhibition.
It was amazing. From there, we walked up the Birdcage Walk to Waterloo Station to catch the afternoon train back to Esher.
It was a cool, wet, miserable day.Weiterlesen

Marble Arch, London

Temperature: 9 degrees here this morning with a high of 9 degrees.
Today, we walked through Hyde Park and St James Park to go to Buckingham Palace to see the changing of the guard. Anyone would think it was the weekend because even though we arrived really early, we couldn't get to where the change would be, so we decided to head up The Mall and watch them march down. We found a great spot, so that was good. From there, we walked to Fortun and Masons as I had never been inside. Thoroughly enjoyed looking around there, it was amazing. From there, we caught the underground to have one more look at Covent Garden, but it was packed. We had a delicious hot chocolate at Hotel Chocolat before using the underground to get us to Marble Arch. It was a full-on day, and we absolutely loved our cup of tea once we arrived back at the VSC.
We stayed in tonight and had at the club.Weiterlesen

Esher/London

Temperature: 11 degrees this morning in Esher and a high of 12 degrees in London this afternoon.

Went out for our normal morning walk before catching train and Underground to have one last quick nose around V&A before heading to Kensington Palace. As we were trying to get to the palace, we got caught up in a downpour, we tried to shelter under a tree with no leaves until we saw two policemen standing under a shelter outside the Israeli Consulate, so we headed straight to them. They were very kind and let us share their small shelter.
Huge queue to get into Kensington Palace. I must say we both preferred Hampton Court Palace.
By the time we had finished in the palace, it was fine, so we enjoyed a leisurely stroll to our accommodation at the VSC. It is still very much a Lebanese area with not many English speaking folk, felt very much out of place. We are close to Marble Arch.
Tonight we went to a local pub for dinner and as it wasn't raining then walked around Portman Park.Weiterlesen

Today, we went to Hampton Court Palace. What a wonderful place to visit and how the time flew. The palace is huge, and we were up and down stairs frequently. Inside the palace, it was quite dark. We enjoyed having the audio to explain the different parts and what went on.
The palace has 60 acres, 13 of which are gardens and woodlands.Weiterlesen

Esher
Temperature: 6 degrees this morning and with a high of 9 degrees.

After what started out looking like a sunny day by lunchtime, it had clouded over and looked miserable. We went shopping for some delicious Christmas goodies and we weren't alone, everyone else had the same idea. Our last bit of shopping tomorrow of what we couldn't get today, cream and strawberries.
This afternoon, Michael and I went along to the local church for Christmas Carols. It was a very relaxed atmosphere. I put a couple of videos up of the 2 young women singing through Messenger, but here are some pics of inside this lovely church.Weiterlesen

Trained from St. Ives to Esher, an all-day trip. Left in the dark and arrived in the dark. It was a very long and boring day. It's good to be back at Sue's.

St. Ives/

Temperature: A very warm 12 degrees at 7.30 am and with a high of 12 degrees at 5 pm.

Yah!!! The weather didn't deteriorate, so our time here in St. Ives has been, cloudy, windy but no rain.
Today, we walked along the cliffs from St. Ives to Porthminister and onto Carbris Bay.
It was very much up and down but most enjoyable.
After lunch, I wondered around the shops at St. Ives one last time, then we caught a bus to Mousehole, we had dinner there, then enjoyed the Christmas lights in the harbour. When it came to returning, 2 buses never turned up, so we caught a taxis to catch another bus transfer a few ks down the road.Weiterlesen

St. Ives

Temperature: 9 degrees at 8 am with a high of 11 degrees at 3 pm.

The weather today was fine, similar to yesterday, overcast, no sun but no rain either.
We walked along the beach front from St. Ives, past Porthgwidden and up to St. Ives Heads. On the way, we came across the Tate Gallery, so we spent some time there. What a marvellous place.
We had a crab sandwich for lunch
Came back to our hotel where we had a cup of tea, and then I went climbing the streets again for a good hours walk. Good for the leg muscles.
We are having a traditional Sunday roast for dinner tonight in our hotel.Weiterlesen

Penzance/St. Ives

Temperature: 11 degrees in Penzance at 8 am. A high in Penzance today was 11 degrees.

Took the bus to St. Ives today, it was very misty, so there was no chance of any photos. The road was really narrow, barely wide enough for the bus to get through.
I can see why St. Ives is well loved by the English for a holiday destination. It is a pretty village but really hilly. Our hotel, The Western, is very good, surprised it's only a 3 star. They let us into our room when we arrived late this morning. Spent the rest of the day walking around the place.Weiterlesen
