I’m less tired this morning than last night, thank goodness. We have just boarded the bus and are headed out to Stonehenge, about two hours outside of London by bus. It’s right around freezing outside and not supposed to get warmer, but we all have our sweaters and hats and scarves so it shouldn’t be much of a problem. I also have hand warmers that I think I’ll put in my gloves instead of my hands. They will then be able to warm up my hands when I put them in my pockets. Wearing gloves while taking pictures on a phone just doesn’t work well for me.

Here is another picture of the tower bridge that I took yesterday:

And one of Queen Anne:

Queen Anne’s statue is outside of St Paul’s. She was unfortunate enough to have 17 children in just over as many years, and none survived into adulthood.

We also went to Harrods yesterday afternoon for a little shopping. Of course most of it fell solidly into the category of window shopping as it was designer everything. I learned that Prada makes china and crystal, but stayed far away from both out of concern over the potential for breaking anything. I didn’t have energy or time to shop anywhere else on the street, so will have to come back for that.

I also didn’t have time to go to Westminster Abbey. Well, technically I did but I don’t think I could have put another scrap of information into my head.

I’m looking forward to tea in Bath today after Stonehenge. I made a reservation in October, so we should be all set. It’s even paid for.

Tonight it’s a farewell dinner and then tomorrow I catch a shuttle to Heathrow at 7:30 am. I expect I’ll be at the airport somewhere between 5 and 6 hours before my flight. Provided I don’t get hung up in security, that should give me some time to do more shopping.

I’m can only laugh at how much I look forward to the shopping parts. Learning things is fun too, but the shopping is what I look forward to most.
