Success! Jessica is now the happy owner of a gorgeous wedding dress. Of course, the style, designer, color, embellishments, length, material, and all other pertinent details are strictly confidential. It is, however, perfect.
Jim and I are happy owners of Oyster Cards. Woo hoo! This means we were able to ride the tube today; me to the dress shop with Jessica and him to Churchill’s War Rooms all by himself. He took Uncle Rick. He learned lots.
One tidbit he learned was that Churchill had a special, direct, phone line to Roosevelt. His staff did not know this; they thought that the little room housing the equipment was WC’s private loo.
Waiting for his wife and daughter to join him, Jim then napped on the lawn in Hyde Park. While he was there, he made a new friend – Lloyd. Jessica and I strolled through Hyde Park from the far end, and eventually joined him.
The three of us sat for Royal Tea at Kensington:
Finally, we took our leave and our leftovers — walking, tubing and training again to Reading. Tomorrow Jim and I turn around and go back to London for three nights, culminating with Comedy of Errors at The Globe on Saturday with Jessica and Jasper. We don’t sit around much. Except that now we are…in a sugar-induced, walked-all-over-London coma.
Love the tea goodies!
Is Lloyd a swan?
Haha! No, Lloyd was an old guy who talked to Jim on the lawn. After I posted the pic, I said, “looks like Lloyd was the swan.”
