Sunday at the Tate Modern and Clerkenwell

Cheers,
   It has been a lovely day.  Randal and I went to visit our friends Jane and Rick Lane-Roberts in Richmond.  We were given a wonderful walk around and drive around tour which I’ll share in a future email .  Future email is getting to be a very overused phrase by me lately.  Not much […]

Southwark Cathedral Part 1

Cheers,
    Though thanks to the weather back in the States, other than those who love sports requiring snow,  there doesn’t seem to be much to cheer about.  Good grief!  In London we seem to be having more rain lately.&…

My friend Coleen

Cheers
     Many parts of southern England are a real mess, but our small bit of it remains unharmed; I guess mainly  due to the Thames Barrier.  Our friend Sandi’s home in Somerset is safe and hopefully our friend Jane …
