Day 36 23 August

Woke to a wet morning but not cold.  Time for rain jacket and to buy an umbrella.  We slept late.  So good being able to take our time and not meet any deadlines.

We walked across Westminister Bridge and found the Westminster Catholic Cathedral in time to celebrate Mass.  A beautiful Church.  Of course we had a lot to see on that walk - London Eye wheel,  Westminster Abbey, statues of famous people (Winston Churchill eg), StJames Park, Houses of Parliament, Parliament Square, the Thames River and plenty of people, queues of them waiting to visit various historic sites.  Still did not make the shops!

We have repacked our bags and yes, it is time for another parcel home.  This time it is quite heavy - the paper stuff from our travel including books etc.  We had our evening meal in the hotel and went to theatre.  Anne had booked us into "The Lady Killers".  We enjoyed it very much, very funny.  You may remember the film version.  We experienced a ride in the London cab and had lunch at a typical cafe.  We are finding the cost of food here quite expensive.

Anne is enjoying the cricket although today was interrupted by the rain so she sat around for a while.  The hotel arrangement is working out for us.  We are on the 15th floor so quite high.  It is a big hotel, very busy.

Time to sign out.  Love to all.  Great hearing news from home.
