Back In England

To conclude our trip, Mum, Aunt Sheryl and I took a train down through Scotland and back into England. The scenery was gorgeous! Inlets of water, cities adorned with cathedrals, and fuzzy sheep grazing were seen from the window.

I played tour guide in London. We had such a blast touring about! Together we saw the Tower of London, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, Parliament Street, Houses of Parliament, London Eye, Westminister Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, and so much more! Here are some of my favourite pics from London together...

Mom and Aunt Sheryl in their first double-decker bus!

St. Paul's Cathedral

Mum looking pretty at the tippy-top of St. Paul's. Can you see the London Eye in the background?

Mum and Tower Bridge

Awww!!! My new desktop background!

Being goofy in London town!

Mum and our FAVOURITE sight in London: Big Ben! So pretty!!!! And its gorgeous at night. Pictures just don't do it justice...

Here are pics from Westminister Abbey! Now, we couldn't take pictures inside of Westminister, so there aren't too many pictures. I was really surprised how many graves were in Westminister. Kings, queens, knights, royal family members, priests... and even famous poets, authors, and figures! It was really remarkable.

Here are is a picture from the changing of the Guards at the Horse Guard House!

We took a long walk through St. James Park. It was perfect weather. It was so relaxing holding my Mum's hand and walking through the fragrant English park.

Funky Ducks

HAHA Check out this funky bird! Look at his feet; they're blue! He actually swims about and makes horrible noises in the water. Goofy little bird.....

Look at this squirrel! My odd obsession with these cute, fuzzy little creatures is showing through.... So, I called out to this squirrel, ok, and he actually came to me!!!! Granted, once he realized I didn't have any food for him he walked (yes, walked) away (hence the picture of him strutting away). Super cute!

Buckingham Palace!

Now, really look at this picture above. Not only can you see the statue and gate from Buckingham Palace, but you can also see Big Ben AND the London Eye. Awesome!

Mum and Aunt Sheryl left for home on the 10th. I have one more week off and I start teaching again on the 19th. This weekend I am going on a reflection retreat in Dover. I'll walk the white cliffs, have picnics on the beach, and reflect on my time living in England. I'll be sure to post pictures of the lovely scenery!

Hope you all are enjoying every minute of spring!
