On Tuesday we decided to see London by boat, the weather forcast was not good but we set off anyway. First stop was Westminster where we got off and walked around the Houses of Parliment, the politicians were not sitting as it is their summer holiday but the security was still very high. We went over to Westminster Abbey and there was a huge crowd waiting to get in so we decided to give it a miss. Back onto the boat and went up to Grenwich, this time we had a ...

The weather since then has been a bit up and down.....not so hot and showery. We went out for dinner last night with Colin & Sheila to the Royal Oak for our A...

We stopped for pictures at Loch Lomond and few other lochs on the way to Dunoon (which is the swine flu capital of the UK) so we did not want to stop there. We called into Holy Loch which is where the US Submarines used to be docked, this was on the way to the ferry terminal which took us over to Glasgow. Drove through Glasgow and arrived at Keswick around 4pm. ...
