Holidays in the Sun

Went to visit my favorite daughter who doesn’t play bass or cello and does live in London. It was cold, windy, cloudy and rained on and off on our last full day. The main reason for the trip was to attend her Graduation ceremony.  Just a few photos here, maybe a hits and miss list of museums later.

  1. Nice photos. I love how London seems to offer an endless variety of things to see and do.

  2. Thanks for the comment, I'm glad there is plenty to see and do, it was our fourth yearly trip since she has been living in London and the seventh in total. There are also lots of day trips possible as well, so I'll always find something to see and do.
