More London Vignettes

I attended the Squash "Super Series" at Queens Club- watching the top 8 players in the world.


I was late for work the other morning- the sunrise had turned the jet streams into Heathrow pink.


Picadilly Arcade dolled up for Christmas

it was a beautiful day one Thursday so I walked to the half-price theater booth and bought tickets for "Jersey Boys." Sat next to a drunk mother and her two daughters. Tried to explain New Jersey to them, ended by saying "It's sort of like Essex over here." "Oh we're from Essex!!!!"

Bayern Munich gave Arsenal a proper thumping the European Cup. Their fans created a real atmosphere in the stadium as well.

My brother Bruce, sister-in-law Maggie, and 4-month old nephew Lee came to visit.

I felt homesick for the first time.



Spring sprang in London the other day so I snuck out bw my insanely busy schedule. Here are a few pictures from a lovely walk.
Westminster Abbey & Big Ben

Parliament

  I visited Shakespeare's Globe (seeing King Lear there in May)
