Well at least you will have lots of fire wood.
We all learned something new. I’ll have to ask my SA friend to pronounce it for me.
Oohhh nice.

Morning everyone.
We got 2in of snow accumulation last night. The sun is shining bright and making it melt away. I need to gather Clunker food today, I'll get a good look at the damage then, after the snow is melted.

Turning anti-clockwise from the above view were St James’s Park and Buckingham Palace but they were largely obscured by buildings.
So as we were in Westminster, I grabbed a photo of Westminster Abbey
A gold letterbox - painted that colour to celebrate London hosting the 2012 Olympics. Each 2012 gold medallist from the UK had a leeterbox painted gold in their home town to celebrate their win as well
And finally a classic view up towards St John’s Smith Square church ... the houses were built in the 1770s.
But under the road is a WWII air raid shelter if you look for the sign.

We have more wood than can be burned....but, have a gas fireplace, makes it a doubly worse. Our neighborhood looks like a tornado hit, trees down all over. Mostly big old pines...
That is just the absolute prettiest building ever. I just LOVE this building. Every time I see its picture I try to imagine the workers building it. I have a terrible time with straight boards, and just look at all the curves and spires on that building!
I just looked it up on Wikipedia - it was built from 1555 to 1561. Man o man! over 500 years of age. Can you imagine? I'm surprised the officials of Russian kept it in such good shape as they were so opposed to religion of any sort and it was built as a cathedral. Such a beautiful building.
Whahaha. We don't want the shoe maker. We want the elves who helped and made the shoes at night. Except we need them to clean at night.

Okay I am now confused. Did the flowers survive?

At least I get one day off this week.
I love Alan Jackson's voice. In my mind he's second only to Willie Nelson.
How come you know so much? Yoy always have such interesting facts about the places you go to.
And just up the road is Buckingham Palace. The Queen actually lives at Windsor Castle so the palace is used for formal occasions. I didn’t get a photo from the front, sorry, as we went to the Royal Gallery round the side to see an exhibition about King Charles II (reigned from 1670-1685)
This is him
Some bling
And a bit of palatial architecture- a ceiling and a stair rail... those tassels look soft, even close up, but they’re ironwork.

Don't you think that the clothes they wore in king Charles ii time looks so silly
We went to the zoo today. There’s a new polar bear in quarantine, waiting to join these two:
The zoo also has a new male tiger, but he killed a female two days ago, in front of the visitors. The zoo doesn’t seem to know what provoked his aggression.
