THE VIEW FROM THE ROYAL OBSERVATORY, GREENWICH

What a stunning view! It sums up London for me - the historic buildings juxtaposed with the modern skyline. In the foreground, the Queen's House and the National Maritime Museum buildings, with Canary Wharf in the background.

My great friend Bill and I spent today in Greenwich. He leaves London tomorrow, for the long trip back to Australia. I will miss him. He is promising to come back for an extended stay next year. I can't wait!

Bill and I met up with Lisa and Christine. We had some delicious food in The King's Arms and we browsed round Greenwich Market. The sun shone throughout. What a fab day!
