Tuesday West minster abbey, houses of parliament, Big Ben and Madam Tuasards...hooked up with a few of celeb' mates hit the tubes and headed back to the Common...Wednesday:- Stood in the rain waiting for the changing of the guard ... they rode off...and never came back!!! ... apparently they'll fight wars but won't go out in the rain...here we are, all the way from the colonies, and the old girl couldn't pop out for a chat! (we did get a quick snapshot though)...over to the London eye thingy..London tower -London Bridge....Harrods...(dropped a few coin there!)..tubed it again from the east to the west like a Londoner..back home to the "com" ... as we call it... out for a pizza, sold by the metre..a few whiskey's ....

The Moores Hit Britain










Well..we made it all safe and sound driving out of Manchester into Newark (about a 1 & 1/2 hours..that took 4hrs!). At Lindsey's insistence I asked for help....so who else do you ask but a local bus driver...who obligingly said "follow me and I'll lead you out of Manchester"....so we did and all was well, Newark on Trent here we come!!.. Tomorrow we expect to Visit Lincoln...(the place not the Person)..a walk down Drury lane (..Do you know the muffin man??). WOW!! this stuff is really old!!...off to York on Saturday to take a look at the Minster..a massive cathedral that dates back to 64 a.d....Fish and chips for dinner and off to Sherwood Forest Sunday.

Tomorrow is here!..Beautiful Sherwood forest...myth and history mingled together...Miky Found her Husband to Be (Little John)...We stood under the tree where Robin and the boys planed their adventures...had late afternoon lunch at Pub on the way home followed by tea (of course)..
