High Wycombe

Eden Mall

Looking Backward from the first picture

The bell tower of the Church of All Saints

The main altar of All Saints Church

I figured it was time I showed some pictures of the town I live in here in England. High Wycombe is not very big, but it is interesting. Nice big mall with lots of stores and I usually get there on the bus. It is much cheaper for one person to ride the bus than try to park downtown.

All Saints Church is not very big, but it is beautiful and old. I found out that this church is about 700 years old, but there has been a church on this spot for 900 years. When I have gone through the pictures I may blog on just the church.

How Time Flies!!

The Tower of London - Built in 1066

The HMS Belfast - where the Change of Command ceremony took place.

Roses in my picture window.

Sorry this has taken so long, but I have finally gotten my broadband straightened out at home and can now post at my leisure.

Some pictures from London. I've been down there twice since I last posted. More coming, soon.

Nothing much going on at the moment, turning out to be a rainy August instead of the ideal BBQ

weather we were promised. Weather forecasts are sunshine with occasional rain or rainy with occasional sunshine.

Will be going to High Wycombe this weekend and will try to get some pictures of the place.

More Soon!!

Spring at Windmills

Some pictures of the yard now that Spring is here.

Flowers in the yard.

Some of the Roses in the yard.

Some visitors to my yard.

Been A Long Time

For those wanting a look at my house see attached pictures.

The Front - Master Bedroom, Master Bath, Coatroom, Kitchen, Garage
Car - 2001 Ford Focus (very basic model), yes it's black remember this is not Arizona!

This is what I have instead of house numbers.

The Back - Living Room

That rose is about 2/3 of the way up the window now. Waiting on blooms. Will send more pictures at that time.

The Back 2 - Craft Room, Office, Guest Bedroom

It's now Spring in England, but today it's raining and it's supposed to do so for the rest of the week and into the weekend. Lots of things in bloom and my allergies are going crazy. I had forgotten all about that in Arizona where there is not nearly so much flowering stuff. Will send pictures of the yard when more stuff blooms.

Till later!!!

Auntie M

I'M IN!!

Moved into my house last Thursday (the 16th). Go some temporary furniture and my unaccompanied goods. Lots more clothes and DVDs and books and craft stuff. Friday my household goods are coming so I will feel like it is really mine for the next three years.

London Street Performers

First thing across the river and this is what I see!!

Charlie Chaplin was advertising a film display at the museum

The one on the left doesn't move.

Look far left there's a puppet show.

Once we got across to the south side of the Thames, there was a big open space with crowds and lots of street performers. Here's a selection of what we saw.

Tour of London

Back in there somewhere is Buckingham Palace!!

One of the Lions in Trafalger Square

Big Ben Clock

This past Sunday several of us from work took a guided tour of London. Our tour guide was Lin who works with us and lives in London. We took the train from Amersham to Baker Street Station then took the underground to Marylebone and met Lin. Then we started walking. We started at Noon and got back to the train station at close on 7:30PM. I got home at 8:30PM.

We saw quite a lot of London and I got about 130 pictures. Still trying to figure out how much we walked, best figure right now is 6 to 7 miles. More pictures later.
