The Tower

Woke this morning to British TV running a story on schools teaching children about food from the earliest years. Jamie Oliver was running a bread making activity with children around the ages of 6 or 7. He was explaining to a small group the workings of yeast - "it eats sugar and then farts!" It amused us as it did to the very serious children. What does that say about us!!!! No don't answer!

Strolled across to Tower Hill for breakfast, past All Hallows' Church - the oldest in London, checked out the 600AD Saxon arch built from the ruins of Roman Londonium.  Every where you step there are reminders of how many folk have passed this way over the past millenniums. 

All Hallows' Church on Tower Hill - not far from the famous gallows of bygone years. 

The old and the new!

Later we strolled down around the Tower of London, Tower Bridge and the embankment. Sat and watched the world go by for a time before exploring further around the Tower Hamlets.

Beautiful landscaping.

Met Maddie and James late afternoon and we all went to see 'Beautiful' the Carol King Story at the Aldwych Theatre. We all enjoyed the show and were amazed at the number of songs she was involved in. 

Retired for a beer and a bite before heading back to techno-central! In bed after midnight.
