Just to say that Colin came to visit me for two weeks in London. He just left today, so I'm a little sad, but have posted some photos of our 4 day weekend (I took the Friday & Monday off work to spend more time with him).On the Friday, we went to Bath, which I first visited 15 years ago. The city has changed a bit, and not for the better, I'm afraid, but the Roman Baths still entice, as does the Abbey with some lovely sculptures, such as angels climbing up & down ladders.Saturday we stayed in London and did some touring. I managed to awe Colin by navigating the tube system like a pro and we did a walking tour about the "lost" Fleet river now 18 feet under Fleet Street.Sunday we went to Hampton Court Palace. Again, I had visited 15 years ago, but the lovely gardens were being reconstructed, so I had never seen them.Monday we made an last minute change of plans and went to Canterbury instead of Brighton. We didn't regret it. We were both fascinated by Canterbury and the Cathedral there is truly spiritual. The town itself is full of history and old, 17th century buildings that one tends to think of when you think of an old English town.
