Slow time in London

 Jennifer and Myself had decided to go into London and have a slow day exploring.
So First was Westminster Cathedral 
 Then onto Westminster Abbey
Before going to Jewel Tower
It was to dark inside to take pictures but outside was this shot.
King Gorge V statue takes on a new view.

 we then walked Past Westminster
 Down to the Southbank where we got see the Friar Station unwrapped.
 The river was slightly flooded but the didn't stop the commerce on the river.
Buskers were still playing
The book store was still open for Jennifer to amuse herself
 Borough Market was Ideal for a late Lunch Snack.
Before catching the train from St Paul's to the National Art Gallery
where we got to Rubens, A Lion Hunt
 And the Self Portrait in a straw hat of Elizabeth Vigee Le Brun.
 When we came out, The evening had set in.
 chnaging the light around Trafalgar Square
 This addes a new light to the place.
 This view is down Whitehall.

 But Jennifer was Tied and we headed for home.
Another great day out.

Croome

Croome Estate is a large estate in Worcester.
 So off we went. 
The Drive was through some great snow covered parts of the Midlands.
 Once at Croome, we found No Snow.
It was wet but No Snow.






After Croome we made a dash for Charlecote Park 
But it had been closed last minute due to the SNOW.

Titichfiled Abbey in the Snow

 I couldn't sleep and the weather said Snow.
Yah right, So off I went to see and take morning picutes
No Snow but Eton is still impressive in the morning


But once on the road south we saw snow.
 And Jennifer drove so well
 Winchester was the first target.
Wolvesey Castle (Old Bishop's Palace)

 When we got there, It was closed due to the weather 
So we checked out the back of the cathedral


this i enjoyed, but it was cold, so on the snow covered roads again.
On the way, we popped into a dairy farm where we got Raw Milk
Then onto Titichfield Abbey.
The ruins of a 13th century Premonstratensian abbey

This was a quick Visit
Then onto another place. 
So many were closed due to the snow.
Upton Park House.
Well the house was closed but the gardens were open.
