at St James Park

Laurie finally arrived early on Friday morning, she was exhausted but when she saw the blue skies and sunshine she decided she had to go out a bit. We first went to Trafalgar Square as she was dying to see the Christmas tree. Seeing as how I hadn’t been there in about 12 hours I went along.

After that we headed off to St James Park my fave Park in the whole world and one of Laurie’s too. We headed off but not before I shot this photo, it was a beautiful day for the park there were ducks one of the things I love best about the Park is seeing the different ducks and the Pelicans I can never get enough of them this one was in a and the Pelicans I can never get enough of obviously this one was in a Christmas mood too.

They seemed tame enough to pet for the most part though one person got a scare as the one squawked when he touched it. I was careful not to pet that one but no way was I going to miss my chance to pet one....Notice we are wearing the same hatAfter that Laurie headed back to the Hovel and I continued on to the Palace ran *literally *across the Guards marching away in their winter finest

After visiting the palace I started heading towards Westminster through the other end of the park my Pelicans from earlier had moved.


Crossed Westminster Bridge and along passing the Eye and came across the area I had discovered I on my last visit where there were people posing as statues I liked taking photos of them and also happily made a donation to their little buckets it was fun just to watch others and then get in a pose or two myself.


I crossed the Waterloo Bridge gazed at St Pauls *my fave church and saw the sign for Somerset house and had wanted to see the ice-skating rink there I was really surprised when I saw the tree covered with Ice-skates. After that had Fish and Chips a pub and walked by Covent Garden and a man was playing guitar and singing he had a great voice I sat and listened to him for 45 mins and gladly dropped some money into his case then headed back to the Hovel
