Thanks tiffany yes the birds are singing here too
I wanted to go up so badly but am terrified of heights! So I stayed safely on the ground, drinking my wonderful English dark ale, looking over the Thames til dark when the Houses of Parliament lights came on. What a sight! With Big Ben and all! After beeboppin around for weeks and no sleep and trying to cram everything in, it was a great way to relax before the "crammed in like sardines" flight home.
Before we left England in the late 50's my Dad took us to all the great sites in England just to make sure that we saw them in case we never got back. In those days we were able to see the torture chambers deep down in the Tower of London and guess what? That was the memory that stayed with me. My older brother made sure that he explained to us littler ones, in detail, how all the aparatus worked (body stretching things) and we had nightmares for weeks.
