I thought I’d written about going to the Tower of London before, but apparently I haven’t. If you haven’t been yet, go! I love it, and when Maggie and Craig came in October I used them as an excuse to go for a second time.

‘Blood swept lands and seas of red’ is the striking art installation at the Tower of London to mark the 100 year anniversary of Britain’s involvement in the First World War.

My main reason for going to London a couple weeks ago was to attend a London Bloggers afternoon tea. I’m not a London blogger, but I jumped at the chance to meet some lovely ladies and eat my weight in sandwhiches. I wish I was kidding on that last bit. Our table were the eaters for sure. We had most of our food demolished before the other two tables started on their desserts. Oops.
