Nevertheless, life must go on, and you look quite beautiful and stylish in your pink hat! Thanks for all the lovely photos of London. I would love to see all those same places, especially the garden in Richmond.

That was a good location to be based during your trip to London I have been to conferences at the The Tower Hotel just around the corner from there. I would love to take a boat trip along the river and see London from a different prospective. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay.

You are looking very glamorous in your pink hat, just right for London!(by the way a good result for your own SA election too)I was very interested to know that Turner painted the Thames from St Mary's church, Battersea.

I'll be interested in hearing about what sights you decided to see. I always allow one full day for Kew Gardens.
