Apologies to regular readers. The images on the blog are going to be of slightly lower quality because I have used up most of my disk space on this blog. So if you notice a difference. It’s because of that.
Well, we spent our last days of London going to the British National Museum, seeing a play, just visiting that institution known as Harrods.
The British National Museum is probably my favorite museum in the world.
It’s literally walks you through all of mankinds history, starting with the birth of civilization in Mesopotamia, Assyrian, Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, right up to the middle ages.
It contains priceless artefacts like the Rosetta Stone, Paragon Statues from greece, among many other treasures the British secured and brought back at the height of their empire.
We then popped by Harrods for a look at some high end goods in this fine store.
And then it was off to #1 Rowan Terrace in Hammersmith.
This is where Lucas, Tannis and I lived when we were in London, and also the place where we got the name Rowan from.
And a local pub.
We then saw the play Wicked that night. It was very good.
And the previous day I had the honor of visiting one of Englands greatest secrets and weapons of the Second World War. Bletchley Park. Where Alan Turing and the Code breakers did their incredible work cracking the German Enigma machine during WW2.
Which was also popularized this years with the Academy Award winning film, The Initiation Game.
I have lots to say and post about this, but think I will leave it for another day, as I am behind a bit on the blogging and I am currently typing this from our balcony in Zurich Switzerland which I have just started studying.
Needless to say, England was wonderful, had a lovely fast week in London with Elizabeth and the kids (thank you so much Elizabeth) and Tannis and I are looking forward to a fun two weeks together as we celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Yay!
And it also brings to a close our time as a family here in Europe, which as been absolutely wonderful. I will say some more on this later. Just noting that this is where the kids go home, to resume their lives in Canada, and leave Europe behind for now. Who knows what the future will bring them.
See you all back in Canada!
