Some London Churches

I was in London today for a meeting so slipped my little camera in a jacket pocket and had a little stroll.

As arrived for my meeting the sun caught St Lawrence Jewry....

Guildhall

The Bank of England

St Mary Woolnorth

St Stephen Wallbrook

St Mary-Le-Bow

A church tower just standing in a street...

Busy Doing Nothing

So I left dad's yesterday lunchtime and I decided to head home...... the forecast being for rain and of course it didn't rain!

Hence instead of working to improve my bird list, a rather paltrey 15, I sat around and did? Well not much!

Hard to believe doing nothing can be so tiring! I turned the light off  and had fallen asleep by 9:10!! I awoke at five to eleven with the radio still on. What an exciting life eh ;)

Anyway I did think about things/places I want to visit in 2014 and I did realise that there were a few deeply embarrassing omissions in the Historic Properties I have visited.

For example I have yet to visit Buckingham Palace or Kensington Palace and there are a few National Trust properties that are relatively close that I haven't visited. Ascott, West Wycombe Park, The Red House and Fenton House. There are reasons ! In three of the cases the opening hours are plan awkward. But I think I'll have to crack them this year. West Wycombe is a must since I can visit the Church which is on my list!

Yes the church list for 2013 was pathetic! The lack of solo UK holidays really impacted my progress! I have plans to go back to Yorkshire and Northumberland next  year so hopefully I will visit some more in 2014!

St Albans Cathedral

It was dull, it was very grey and it was wet so I thought I'd head to St Albans and look around the Cathedral....

Happy New Year

I wrote at the start of the year "It promises to be a year of great change for your blogger, just when that change will hit I don't know but the times they are a changing." but surprisingly all the change has been delayed and so 2014 promises to be a year of great change :)

I have two holidays booked one in Seville. I'm hoping for a bit of early spring sunshine and warmth, Rome was lovely last March! I'm also off to Munich and Verona. Why not Venice ? well 6 nights in Verona were the same as 4 in Venice and so I'll go to Verona do a day in Venice and visit some other places.

Other plans? Well a visit to Munich I hope and if things pan out I'll do a week in the UK! I miss sitting in National Trust tearooms eating cake!

Not sure about Dad holidays. He seems reluctant to think about it but I hope I'll take him away as the change of scenery is good for him.

The last year has been surprisingly good I had some fabulous holidays. I really couldn't tell you my favourite they were all different.

Anyway Happy New Year.
