  • Week 154 – February 26th – London – Part 1

    Today we drove up to Battersea Park for some fresh air and a walk.

    After parking up, we had just reached Chelsea Bridge, when I realised that I had left my phone in the car and the phone was unlocked. Leaving Claire at the bridge I walked back to car and thankfully nothing had happened.

    I’m sure Claire must have been tracking me, as she messaged me virtually as I got back to the car.

    All those wasted non recorded steps 🤣

    This was the 1st time we had been to Buckingham Palace since King Charles III was on the throne.

    Even though the weather wasn’t great, there was still many people around.

  • Week 152 – February 11th – Biggin Hill – Part 4

    Final pictures from today’s visit.

    A new hotel is being built for the airport. Should be open this spring.

    Just opposite the café and new hotel, is a formula 1 technology centre.

    Somewhere around the airport is meant to be home to Bernie Ecclestone car museum, but you’re not allowed in.

    This is so true and we are so grateful too.

    As you drive into the parking area for the café, there is a small garden that has been created to remember all those that served and saved our country and Europe in the Second World War.

    Biggin Hill
    Thank you. Some people are very clever in how this statue was made.
