London, Cheers! + Have an Amorous Weekend


Congratulations, Will and Kate!



Aah, I remember last November. I made plans to spend my vacation at home, but God had other plans
A good friend of mine called me to invite me to go and spend a few days in England. So, off to London I went.
This was not my first time in London but I remember I squealed with delight.
Not only was I going to visit one of the most magnificent cities in the world, but I was also going to meet with my good friend and spend as much time with him as I possibly could.
O here are a few London photographs, if you'd like to see.


The River Thames flows through southern England. It is so fascinating at dawn.


Jubilee Walkway.

The Victoria Memorial is a memorial to Queen Victoria. This sculpture stands in the centre of the Queen's Gardens in front of Buckingham Palace.


Buckingham Palace.


Westminster Abbey.

St. James's Park in Westminster, central London; the oldest of the Royal Parks of London. The park has a small lake, with two islands.
A bridge across the lake affords a view of Buckingham Palace framed by trees and fountains.





So I found myself in London and I loved it; it was warm and sunny.
I spent about fifteen days or so visiting all of my favourite spots and sights; seriously, what could be better than fifteen days in London with your good friend.
It was the best thing ever!
Overall the journey was totally fascinating.

Cheers, my darlings! hope you have a delightful, amorous weekend! xx

Well, Betty, the whole world was watching some of the scenes from your pictures, today. I see this as a tribute to the royal wedding.

Woohoo.

Joy always,
Susan

TexWisGirl said...

thanks for sharing those lovely views so i don't have to watch any of the footage of 'the' wedding today. :)

At the risk of offending other European visitors to my blog, I think London is the penultimate of the European cities that I have seen. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.

Liz Mays said...

Would love to see it, but it's so far away and involves long distance flying. That rules me out. Lovely pics.

Betsy Banks Adams said...

Hi Betty, Too bad you couldn't be in London today to see the Royal Wedding... Kate's dress was gorgeous...

Great pictures from a beautiful place... I'd love to go to London someday... I want to see Westminster Abbey. (I have a thing for the big beautiful churches and cathedrals.)

Thanks for sharing your wonderful visit.
Hugs,
Betsy

Diane AZ said...

I was fortunate enough to spend several days in London several years ago, and your photos brought back many memories. Thanks for sharing your visit with us.

These are beautiful shots, and it's so relieving to see photos of London without the newlywed royal couple! Thanks, Betty.
Have a wonderful weekend, friend.

I am not so excited about this weeding.Many millions of euros spent to this wedding and London nowadays has difficult economic times.There are much important issues than this.
Anyway,London is a nice country.Unfortunately,I haven't been there yet.This visit deserves!It seems you had a nice time there!Have a relaxing weekend.

London has got to have some of the world's best architecture and you've captured it so well. Sounds like you had a great time. :)

Hootin Anni said...

I think of all the hoopla over the wedding of the decade, I really really liked Pippa's gowns best! Both for the wedding AND the after ceremony party.

What a treasure filled post...all are super great!! Very enjoyable today. Very much so.

Thanks for stopping by yesterday. Here's my link for today if you'd care to stop by and say 'howdy'!!

lovely! I want to visit London one day!

Saucy Siciliana said...

Gorgeous pictures, it was like taking a tour of London, I haven't been there in about 10 years! We watched the wedding here on TV through Sky Italia, so impressive! I loved the dress Kate wore, and Pippa's one was splendid. I found you through my friend rednomadoz and I'm following you from Trapani, Sicily. You would find lots of places to photograph here, that's for sure:) starting with the gorgeous view from Mount Erice.

EG CameraGirl said...

London is such a wonderful cit. I think many of us felt like we were there this weekend. :))

Melissa B. said...

Love your Superior Snaps! London IS a lovely city, isn't it? Don't think I'd want to be in town for all the royal wedding hubbub, though. BTW, you and I have something in common...I'm featuring Wills and Kate today, too!!

EcoRover said...

Hi Betty, thanks for the good London memories (though have to say I've heard enough about the $30mill wedding--my partner was up at 1 in the a.m. to see it + constant coverage for the next two days...).

dennistheeremite said...

Beautiful and serene shots of a world city, and the background for so much clamor and "news".

Bitch said...

London and its beautiful spots.
I can imagine your enthusiasm being there!!
Send you my warm hugs from Athens..
