Twenty-five weeks puts us in mid-April. Spring Break.
And we think we're going to London to celebrate Mama's big birthday by visiting the Harry Potter Studios.
It's all in the planning stages, and we're not even sure that Mama's big project will be over (so we might go at the end of June instead.) But we'd love to go. Time in London, time with Lambeth. The biggies: the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Westminster Cathedral, Big Ben, St. Pancras's Station (platform 9 3/4!), Hampton Court, maybe one of the museums (British? V&A? National Gallery? of the City of London?). Plus whatever with Lambeth--his town, Stonehenge, King Arthur's table, the filming location of "Downton Abbey," all manner of things.
It's all to be worked out. But it's the fun kind of work.
Looking forward to seeing y'all. You wrote Westminster Cathedral, a building about a century old, did you mean Westminster Abbey which is Norman and contains the tomb of the Unknown warrior as well as Poet's Corner and the Coronation Chair?
ReplyDeleteAlthough this is a small country it takes a lot of time to get around, use a map and allow about 20mph for cross country travel.
I will check on Downton Abbey itself, the waiting list is months long!
The village with church and small buildings is easy enough, no waiting and no charges except for parking.
SO very jealous! I cant wait to hear about it once you go!
ReplyDeleteYou got me, Abbey. I'm out of practice. And yes to your email--St. Paul's would be great, too. I'll email you some ideas soon, Lambeth.
