Photos at last!

Yay! Finally able to post some of my photos. Please see link...

Unfortunately, due to my crappy posting skills and an attack of the 'can't be bothereds' to fix them, some of the photos are not in order so they don't make too much sense. Will endeavour to do better next time.

I must recommend the verger led tours of the Westminster Abbey to anyone who is thinking of visiting London. Expensive but soooo worth it! Go to the 2pm session & then stay for Evensong afterwards. We had a psycho guide taking us around, which made the whole thing so much more entertaining. Holy place of worship? I think not. He ran around, waving his arms, waving an English flag & pulling photos, sticks and artifacts from his cassock. He saved us some seats for Evensong so we got to sit in the front row of the Quire, next to the choir. BTW, the vergers assist the priests at the Abbey with all the odds and ends - putting out chairs in the right places, organising rehearsals for the choirs, leading the processions into and out of the church and, of course, taking tours around.

I must also give a big thank you to Steve Cousland at this point. I've been meaning to mention that his idea of getting me an Oyster Card was the best idea ever. It has been most handy and has saved me a lot of hassle.
