Upminster

Just spent 1/2 hour, in between appointments for opticians etc, in Upminster walking round the graveyard thinking about past times and good friends.

 

We watched the Quarter Finals in the Nag's Head, Chichester. Come on Andy - I've taken annual leave just to watch you win the semi's tomorrow and then............

Last Ball of Summer



"Hauntingly elegant & theatrically enigmatic"

And why were we in Chichester? We bought a boat - so excited. We are having it built to our own specifications. (No, ERNIE hasn't come up). It should be ready to collect by August. More info. at a later date. We just need to think of a name - something quirky. Any ideas?

Diamond Jubilee Sunday

In the warm and totally sober....

Olympic stadium Greenwich

We visited London on the day before the Diamond Jubilee Thames Pageant. The atmosphere was great and people were already setting up camp along the embankment. We decicied to visit the newly restored Cutty Sark. Arrived at 13:55 - it closed at 14:00! Plan B:- took a riverbus along the Thames to Westminster and then walked back along the river looking at all the boats preparing for the Pageant.





I have no idea who these people are, but they insisted that I take a photo.
