Good evening lovely members of the CDR.
I hope you are well and prepared for the weekend.;) :)
And now I proudly present my new lawn movers: Sheep !
I sold the geese because they were angry with the cats. I hope the sheep are gentle... Their names are "Muriel". Muriel is the ( dark ) white one and female.
The brown, smaller sheep is "Moppel". Moppel is a young male.
Muriel is very tame and loves to be scratched and cuddled. Moppel is shy and don`t want to be touched.
They not only eat gras like geese. Sheep eat herbs and leafs and stinging nettle ( I hope )- All things that geese not touch and not eat.

Muriel:

Lots of walking today

Tower Bridge

Tower of London (which is right next door)

We went across the top of the bridge - closed in so not as scary as it sounds

And then... we found the free museum of the Order of St John - an ancient order that predates the Knights Templar and cared for people of all faiths travelling to the holy lands from the 12th century. Today it's the St John's Ambulance Brigade - volunteer first aiders. Fascinating place we didn't know existed.

Particularly liked this book written by a traveller from the 1480s who drew the exotic creatures he saw like camels and giraffes and ... unicorns

Part 2 - even more walking!

We went to the Charterhouse which, over the centuries, has variously been a monastery, hospital, almshouses and two different schools. It still retains the almshouses today, but while you do have to be poor to qualify to live there you no longer have to be maimed, impotent and/or a merchant previously interred by the Turks!

Finally we went to the Royal Albert Hall to listen to some music - Prom 18 to be precise.

And now we're on the way home. We were lucky with the weather! We managed to dodge most of the wet stuff.
