Ah London... seen through bleary eyes after a few hours of sleep in an airport... but still wonderful! I visited the Queen in Buckingham Palace, then toured the Parliament Buildings (well, the outside), inspected Big Ben (still working), and checked that the Westminster Bridge was still in place, then admired some Turners, Gainsboroughs and John Singer Sargent portraits (yum!) at the Tate. A lovely day. Then arrived at a delightful 5 story home filled brimming with funky, colourful art. It was a magical day!
Now in Bath, staying at the YMCA. The Roman buildings are so perfect that it's almost impossible to comprehend their age. Some young people had a very loud, very late party last night, which included seeing who could blow the longest notes on one of those long horns. Ah, Bath! I bet the Romans partied in much the same way!
