England again why not


 I decided on short notice to go to England again, arrived after a good flight. I paid to check in early rather then waiting for 4 hours had a quick nap then headed to get fish and chips. I knew the perfect place.  After good nights I headed to St James Park.  I arrived at the park at the park and walked around, I saw one pelican who I since found out his name was Gargi. Turns out he is the only "stray" one the rest were still locked up so they would't get bird flu. I saw someone with doggies. I
 walked around Trafalgar square and found my way to the Thames and had lovely fish and chips

Beautiful Regent Park


I decided to go to Regents Park and see if the roses were in bloom they were quiet a few. I walked to the entrance near the roses and sat on a bench with a couple I mentioned I've been coming to London for more than 50 years I said I first came because I was a Beatle fan. Lo and beho she was a singer and she performed on Standing Stone. She was telling me what a lovely man PAUL was and Linda too.

                                                                                                                                      
 











My last day in London I headed to Hammersmith just for something different. There was a really cool bridge I managed to climb up to it. I had Sunday roast lamb of course perfect ending for my time in London, I wound up sharing a table with a woman and had interesting discussion.






My trip home was something else my knees felt bad I asked the man working there how far would the walk be to the gate He looked and saw how far and said come with me. I was taken to a place and was put on a cart taking me to my gate. In Chicago I limped past a man with a wheelchair and he said do you need help. He put me in the chair he took me every where including security thank God because it was quiet far. Arriving in Buffalo I waited last to get off taking my time. So there were two men with wheelchairs (one is training) and I was put in wheel chair he even got my luggage and led me to a chair so I could wait for my sister to come.

Westminster Cathedral























I decided to visit Westminster Cathedral this is a Catholic Church Not to be confused with Westminster Abbey (you have to pay to visit) the Cathedral is free you can make a donation if you wish. I had always seen it in the distance from Buckingham. Palace. It did not disappoint it was very beautiful. Of course I was singing Westminster Cathedral which was a popular song in 1966.
