I WENT TO LONDON TO VISIT THE QUEEN

THIS IS MY STORY AND MY FIRST TIME EVER IN ENGLAND

My sister Eleanor, husband Gordon and I went to the UK several years ago. We flew into Gatwick International Airport. My brother-in-law picked us up at the Airport and we spent two days touring London (along with the mother-in-law).
I wore a crazy safari hat and my brother-in-law asked me to chuck it. For some reason he hated my hat.
Sooooo, I'm already off to a good start.

I just had major surgery on both of my feet and they were still in the healing stage. Well we did the whole London tour on foot. Oh, my bloodie stumps.
Every corner we turned Geoff (the brother-in-law) would announce that we were almost there, that it was just around the corner, but it wasn't and we just kept going on like that. I think he was lost but wouldn't tell me that.

We did see plenty and Mum (the boys called her the Old Lady)was still on her best behavior.

The Palace Gates where stunning.
