What a wonderful time you look to have...Hello Jen,<br /><br />What a wonderful time you look to have had in London with such an intriguing mix of activities. To walk round a city certainly is the best way to see it and you seem to have navigated London fantastically well. It can be extremely confusing and not a little tiring. We are certain that you will have needed a holiday to recover from it all!<br /><br />Tate Modern is so amazing. We are most interested to know what you thought of it. The entrance is most impressive and the collection is wonderful. We also think that the guided tours there are terrific.<br /><br />We are so pleased that you had a lovely time....... never time enough!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494925975380418965.post-27734965717180110502014-08-27T18:20:55.769-04:002014-08-27T18:20:55.769-04:00Lord, I wish I were Turner.Lord, I wish I were Turner.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15954245955512283932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494925975380418965.post-62884834141818006762014-08-27T12:38:49.702-04:002014-08-27T12:38:49.702-04:00How great Jen, that you got to visit the wonderful...How great Jen, that you got to visit the wonderful City of London.<br />Its a great place.
