Just a quickie...

Just a quick post today guys. As most of you already know, I am now working just around the corner from Buckingham Palace. I thought I would head on over on my lunch break to snap off a few little photos. Place was like a mad house. I happened to arrive part way through the 'Changing of the Guard' and there were literally thousands of people there. Had to push people out of the way to get a close shot. Anyways, here they are... Also thought that I would post a pic of our local fox which lives in our backyard.

Yet another touristy day in London. We decided that we should finally go to Greenwich and have a little look around. Unfortunately it was a fairly shitty day so we were kind of rushed when we were outdoors. That being said, it was a very enjoyable day.

Our first port of call was the Painted Hall in the Royal Naval College. This room was amazing. Every single square inch of the place was painted back in the 1700s (I think). Apparently it took one guy over 19 years to finish work on it... Amazing! Unfortunately it was also a fairly dark room, so the photo of the ceiling section didn't come out that well. I put it through Photoshop and got it as good as I could. We then had a look around the College some more and then finally ended up going to the Greenwich markets. Thankfully I didn't have that much money on me, because if I did I would have walked out spending a fortune. Clothes, art, food; they had everything! We then braved the weather again and headed towards the National Maritime Museum. Another awesome place... and Dad you would have loved it!!! They had virtually everything to do with the history of the seas and exploration. And it was FREE!!! We spent around 2 hours here and then headed towards the National Observatory. The Prime Meridian intersects the Observatory, and is probably the most famous thing about Greenwich. There was also a gallery containing all of the early clocks developed to accurately measure time, and it was crazy how complex these were. That pretty much sums up the day. Like I said earlier, it was an awesome day, even though the weather was crap. Hope you enjoy the pics....
