Everything here is dear Marcel...
Especially in London.
Or even take a train out to, say, Biggin Hill, or Manston, both famous BoB airfields, with a museum at the latter. Or have a bacon butty ......
A disgraceful scam I think.
It's a long, long time since I visited Westminster Abbey, Westminster Cathedral, or 'The Tower' - 1966 to be precise, the day London was fairly quiet because of some football match with Germany or something.
But back then, apart from 'The Tower', they were free, and the entrance fee for 'The Tower' was minimal. But then, it was a long time ago, in the days when the predominant language heard on the streets was English and a MacDonald was a Highland Scot .............
to me it isn't. London just makes me think of De Ruyter and Chatham
Just kidding, always have a marvelous time when in the UK. Love the country.
You guys don't understand ...Ive seen so much there I have 1800 pictures so far. 3 days left and we don't have much planned.
Churches aren't my thing, and yes you are right I do not really have the appreciation for them to enjoy it.
