Been a Slacker -

Been a while since I updated, so here is for the last couple of weeks. On the Wednesday the 8Th, I took the afternoon off to attend my good friends Keiron and Phil's civil legal wedding ceremony. There were 10 of us that met at Liverpool Station to go to their council house for the ceremony. Was a nice ceremony, then went to Canary Wharf for drinks on the Thames, then to the Four Seasons for dinner, was a fab evening and very enjoyable.
In the UK they have a four day holiday for Easter, so was off on the 10Th and 13Th. On Friday went to Keiron and Phil's place and spent the day. Keiron and I went out to Greenwich to get a photo at the museum, didn't work, we got told no photos. Oh well, we stopped at the market to do a little shopping and a sausage hot dog. Keiron thought we would take the bus back to the Ferry across to their place. Well we got on the right bus, but going the wrong direction, so had to turn around. Saw lots of Southeast London that I hadn't seen before, we arrived at the ferry, which is a 5 minute ride, was fun, you could see their building from the ferry, then boarded a bus and got off at their building. Phil cooked dinner was yummy, then watched a video and headed home.
On Saturday went out to Bath, what a pretty city. Enjoyed the city, did a little shopped, walked all around, across the Putney bridge, got some great pictures of the bridge, then returned home.
Sunday & Monday stayed close to home, back to work on Tuesday for my last week.

Arundel


Great weather on Saturday so took the train to the town of Arundel to visit the castle there. It is still the home of the Duke & Duchess of Norfolk. What an impressive place, huge grounds, with lots of trees and flower starting to bloom. The castle itself was Fab. Very impressive and really enjoyed it. The town was small and quaint, was a great day.
Sunday - went for a stroll thru Regents Park, what a massive park, was beautiful with all the flower and trees blooming, many people out on the lake in paddle boats and around. Meet Janine at St John Wood's station and we did Regents Park together, was a great afternoon. The amazing thing was only need my jean jacket..Yeah !
