Well, it's been awhile since I've updated you on my adventures...so here we go. In early Nov I went once again to London to view the Lord Mayor's parade. It was a rainy London day but we made it through and enjoyed the event. After that we went to high tea at Marriot (I think)...it was truly wonderful and we had nice view of the River Thames and Big Ben. We stayed for the evening fireworks and then headed back by train to Littleport.
My next adventure was to visit Elveden for my Christmas tree on the 13th of Dec. This place is so cool. You have a large assortment of trees to choose from and if you'd like you can have the Newfoundlands bring your tree to your car...I didn't opt for that but did take some photos of the beautiful animals. Also, they have a wonderful cluster of shops from gifts to foods to wines...I love walking through there each year and the thrill of finally having a real tree after so many years of not having one is something I enjoy each time.
In early January a friend of mine was retuurning to the States so as a fond farewell a few of us went to the Duchess Theatre to see "Buddy" (the Buddy Holly Story)--check out the site: http://www.buddythemusical.com There were two actors playing the part...we saw the version with Matthew Wycliffe...he was wonderful and certainly looked and played the part. It was a fun event. Afterwards we had a nice Italian dinner. You can never not have a good time in London.
My last excursion was on a pottery trip to Stoke-on-Trent...went to the Spode, Wedgewood and Permerion factory outlets...of course I had to buy a few things. Definitely an industrial area and you can see the town is closing down along with many of the outlets. I've seen nicer locations.
My next trip will be to Dover Castle (I hope)...I'll post again. Hope all is well. Oh yeah...the cat was just a visitor at the train station and I took the photo because I could...

great pictures, Debbie. I love the one with the moon over Parliament. And, of course, ones of you and of the kitty. That place to get the xmas trees does sound really cool...and that is so cute how they have the dogs bring them to people's cars.
Your tree was pretty. Too bad the pic didn't come out clearer for you. I've never had a real tree. I always use artificial.
I tried to take the photo of the tree at night with the lights on but it didn't work so well...I guess I'll try again next year. You really should have a real tree at least once in your life...they just add something to the feeling of Christmas.
I kind of liked the photo of parliament too...it was kind of eerie that evening. I didn't see Harry Potter but did see someone who looked like Hagrid (sp?)!! Just kidding! Had fun even though I'm not the most photogenic person
BTW...I took the photo of the guys in uniform only because I thought they looked very handsome!
they DO look very handsome.
well at least it was Hagrid you saw and not Jack the Ripper. That pic looks like it could be a scene from a horror flick.
