London calling

So the summer Hols are here and were off to see the Queen...........well my uncle Jimmy,James & Tina actually!
After spending most of my childhood growing up in London I have wanted to take the children & Steve! to London to see the sights and this summer we finally made it!
A trip on the river Thames on the water taxis allowed us to take in most of the famous land marks without the hustle & bustle of city life!
The Tower of London,HMS Belfast,The London Eye,The Houses Of Parliment,Tower Bridge E.T.C
We got off at the Embankment & walked up to Trafalgar Square where we had a photo shoot like the many others that were there.
NO PIGEON'S!! Steve had already warned me of this!
As I am petrified of birds flapping around my head I suppose it was a blessing......But Trafalgar Square without these flying vermin is just not the same!
Where was the bird feed seller from Mary Poppins!
We then walked to Covent Garden Market where we had lunch,watched the street entertainers & shopped around the market taking in the lovely aromas of the many different food stalls available.
My Uncle Jimmy lives in a lovely house in Welling, We were only in London for three days so the other two days were spent relaxing in his lovely garden,Pimms in the midday sun for me (of course with all the trimmings), Gigantic paddling pool for the boys & uncle Jimmy!!and a bit of peace & quiet for Steve.
A good time was had by all and I am sure we will be returning to The Big Smoke again!!!
