I would love to see those poppies at the Tower. Trying to get there seems like a major undertaking for us. How I envy you that ease of access but at a comfortable enough distance to make it a really good day out.LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-71401842967292579102014-08-11T10:57:51.786+01:002014-08-11T10:57:51.786+01:00Good grief you managed to pack a lot into one day!...Good grief you managed to pack a lot into one day! When my son was small my parents and I sometimes treated him to a day out in London but travel there is so expensive now. How I would love to visit the Tower of London while the poppies are there. A friend told me she has bought one of the poppies and I'm very tempted too. A little extravagant but a worthy cause. Thanks for letting us accompany you on your day out.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07549006313944585453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-39380036413768446082014-08-11T08:22:18.856+01:002014-08-11T08:22:18.856+01:00What a brilliant walk you took us on.

Did you see the fountains outside the Festival Hall? I loved all th benches, it was the riverside trail you were on, and the poppies are just amazing and poignant and beautiful aren't they. If I go back to London in Oct/Nov I'll definitely go back to see them again.
