England – London

Back in London. It was great fun to have my sister Virginia arrive. Our first activity was to explore Flask Walk where we stayed in Marjorie’s flat.  

Virginia is front of the flower shop below the flat. 

Down the Walk we ogled all the beautifully prepared food.  Virginia lived in London 51 years ago.   She said the food was very different then!

Next we went in search of the home she lived in for a year.  She thinks this is it, based on its on the location, but of course a lot changes in 51 years.

We proceeded to pound the pavement for the next three weeks taking in this amazing city.  John having been to London several times on his own and with with school groups, happily enjoyed retreating to the British Library. He secured a Reading Room pass and could settle in there any time, reading and doing some rsearch on where we were going next.

Virginia’s daily walk to the advertising agency in which she worked, would take her through Regent Park. It was fun to visit the park. The flower gardens were absolutely amazing and so many of them.

 

Lovely buildings in the neighborhood.

Camden Market was our next stop with its interesting shop fronts. It was close to where Virginia had lived.
