Instead of wandering down to St James's Park I decided on something different.
The Monument which commemorates the Great Fire of London of 1666.
For AGES I've wanted to visit the garden of St Dunstan in the East. The church was destroyed during the war and was turned into a garden. Great use of space I think.
The Tower of London
A Beefeater
Tower Bridge
St Paul's Cathedral
The Royal Courts of Justice.
St Clements Danes Church and evirons. The church is the RAF Church.
Samuel Johnson
Bomber Harris
Air Chief Marshall Dowding - head of Fighter Command during the Blitz
William Ewart Gladstone PM
Australia House
Bush House home of the BBC.
Gross eh!
So even after a very enjoyable walk we were still early so sat in Cavendish Square and read.
And as we walked in to the concert.... the sun came out!
The concert was the guitarist Milos Karadaglic.
The programme was:
Fernando Sor
Grand Solo Op 14
Augustin Barrios Mangore
Un Suenoen la Floresta
Johann Sebastian Bach
Prelude andFugure from"Parita in C minor' BWV997
Heitor Villa-Lobo
Prelude No 1 in E minor
Etude No 11
Valsa - Choro from 'Suite popular brasileira'
Etude No 12
Milos is a fine guirarist but came over as a nice chap as he actually TALKED to the audience!!
There was an encore (I can't remember what it was but it'll be on the new album) which I liked!!
Great Day
