Upon traveling to London this weekend, I gave a quick semi-guided tour to a friend who had never been before; so we hopped on the Underground and hit the tourist-y places such as Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, St. Stephen's Clock Tower and Harrods(Ok, ok so that was for my personal enjoyment and creation of my Christmas list-"Dear Santa, I would like that cute 3000 pound Valentino handbag and oh yeah a few of those floral Hermes scarves in my stocking..."). I am fortunately getting much better with directions and able to locate any shopping districts and espresso bars fairly well. Call it intuition.
No visit to London would be complete without a quick trip to a museum and I thought my friend might enjoy seeing a nice Monet or Picasso, except she had never heard of them before(!?!). On top of that, it was some sort of Trashy-Tasteless-Nudie-"art"-Day at the museum and before I saw the warning sign, BAM, it was too late and my corneas are now seared forever. Yikes. Call me a prude but I don't consider that art, not even modern. Barf and barf.
Fellow garden-viewers.
Hi, my name is Sarah and I'm not photogenic.
More alleyway.
The Queen was in at the Buck, and although I had originally planned to storm the gate, chose not to because these relatively threatening, highly-trained individuals were obviously on high alert.

Whoah. The statue, like, moves dude.
Why would you want such a heavy bag?;)
Awesome, I love the pictures, especially the cops, they just need coffee and donuts to complete the ensemble.
In my day, the police, or rozzers as we used to call them, would say "evening all" or ''allo,'allo, 'allo, wot's goin' on 'ere then?"
now they're packing 'eckler & Koch
:-(
It's tea and scones with rozzers. Mind you if you did anything wrong the police would be the people who went to jail
