Wednesday, 17th April 2024 - LONDON

The U3A organised a coach trip to London today and at £16, it was hard to resist.  And the icing on the cake was that Mave's daughter was able to meet me there and we had a very enjoyable 6 hours catching up.  

The coach dropped us off outside the Natural History Museum where L was waiting for me.  With the best of the day's weather forecast for the morning,  we decided to head for Hyde Park. I got my camera out when we reached the Albert Memorial which was looking splendid in the sunshine,  probably having been "tidied up" for the coronation last year.

After seeing much of Hyde park and having some lunch by the Serpentine, we went to the Naatural History Museum. We visited the "Wildlife Photographer of the Year" exhibition and I don't think either of us were particularly impressed - I guess we're just not "judge material". The building itself was very impressive but the large number of visiors made photography diffficult.

It was a very enjoyable day and good to spend some time with L (even if she did get my step-counter up to 16,500 during the day  :)
