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.
We set off in SOHO for a late lunch.
Passed the Liberty arch.
 And into the maze of back streets.

 SOHO is a special part of town, as it has No big shops. All small. little places.
Lunch was great but in a dark little Cafe.
After that we headed for Coverty Gardens
to find Jennifer favorite little toy store.
The store has collections of small puppet theaters, and specialist childerns story books.
We then head to Piccadilly for afternoon Tea. but got held up by a protest to save the FOXES.
Another great day in LONDON.
