Celebrating life's great adventures..............

London & surrounds.....

Our great travel adventure is drawing to a close but before we depart a little about our visits to areas surrounding London.

Oxford one of the world's great university towns with a rich history dating back 750 years...




Hampton Court Palace the one time home of King Henry V111 & located on the River Thames.....

The Palace houses an amazing collection of tapestries, many from the time of Henry V111. How talented the artisans & weavers were who designed & woven these works - just look at some of the amazing detail in these pieces......




We went to the Theatre to see the wonderful musical Jersey Boys. It was fabulous.......it put a real "spring in the step"....  My niece Merran joined us and before the show we had dinner at a local mexican restaurant where Mez works..........

It's been a wonderful trip but after 6 weeks we depart London today for our homeward journey via Hong Kong. Stay posted - the next blog will be coming from School Lane...........

  1. Kathy, your wonderful blog has given me many memories of our time spent together in England in 1987. Can you believe it was that long ago!
    Enjoy the rest of your trip and I'm so delighted that the weather has finally turned around to sunny and warm. Hong Kong will certainly be warm! Marea.
