London 19 July - 8 August

I stayed in Cheam, London for a couple of weeks (minus 6 days in Wales -another posting) at Yvonne and John Eggleton's house with their daughter Victoria and her fiance Nick. Yvonne and John were in Australia. Mainly working during this time but an afternoon sightseeing in London, a walk along the Thames and a trip to Bletchley Park (see other postings).

The London Eye on the Thames - a very long queue so I didn't bother.

Houses of Parliament and Big Ben
