London on Spring Break

The Day opened with great sunshine,  and a desire to see London Again. This time we wanted see a couple of places we missed, We passed Burnel at Paddington.  Each time we go through Paddington I'm amazed that this place is 200 years old. But today is used still by 100,000 everyday Enjoyed walking past the Chilton Street Fire Brigade Station,   Built in 1880, Now a hotel. On our way to the Wallace Collection  Once in the Wallace Collection it was display well worth the walk, Centuries of Armour from Islamic to Asian to Old English.  These Spurs for example were from Russia.  A Spanish Shield  Civil War, Guns.  Once passed those it was the porcelain.  Fun bowls and all  But my Favorites were this little Bull from Spanish Stone  The detail was Fanatastic And then this little girl in a painting from the 1700's Once were had finished checking that out, which was most of the Morning.

Dorney Wetlands

Today was a beautiful and bright sunny summers day, and Jennifer was down sick, So I went for long walk.  The berry fruit flowers were in full bloom  And the Jubilee River was smooth and inviting.  The walkways were clear of almost anyone as well.  The wheat in the surrounding field you could almost hear growing. Along the way, there were many weirs   With lot sof birds taking advantage of the fine weather.  Surprisingly the Wetlands, didn't have that much birds, it's nesting time here.  You could see some of the Geese and Swans.  Once thier, I relaxed and took in the air and sun.

Day at the temple agian.

 We enjoyed the Day at the temple.  This time the sun was out and gardens were looking good.   Jennifer was in Dreamland.

Paris Temple trip.

Jennifer had scored some tickets tot he Paris Temple open House, I had to work. So off she went in a Van with Members to the channel Train.  She described it as a trip on science faction.  it took about 40 Minute once the Train got going. problem is it takes a long time to fill. Taking Pictures in the Van was difficult.  But once at the temple  The queues to get in were long.  Inside, No photo's but they did give you these.  Outside was just as nice.  Not far away was some kids riding their horses. But then she was in PARIS.
