What's up with Glenn, Heather, Katrine, and Elspeth
Look! It’s me as a bush.
Some good, old fashioned hairy Highland Cows/ Heilan Coos.
Elspeth’s sheep Aberfoyle Woolen Mill. Even if Elspeth was a little scared by the fact that these sheep both moved and made a lot of noise, it was quite interesting to see such a wide variety of sheep. They really did not look like the walking cotton balls we commonly think of.
“I am not so sure about this mom.”
My Grandma’s house and the Camp Place Park:
Callander Mainstreet and Meadows:
Bracklin Falls:
I love this picture that Elspeth drew at lunch that day.
More scenery:
Falkirk Wheel:
Stratclyde Park:
Stirling Castle:
The kids section had hidden mice.
Wallace’s Monument:
Walk beside the River Forth:
Double Decker Bus Ride:
Paddington Station:
Platform 9 3/4 at King’s Cross Station:
Trafalgar Square:
Kensington Gardens & Peter Pan Statue:
Soho Pakette:
Science Museum:
Baba got a lot of loving as we walked around to the various museums.
Natural History Museum:
National Gallery:
Only kids drawing in the whole museum but they can up with some really nice pieces.
Brass Rubbing Museum (located in St Martins in the Fields Church beside Trafalgar Square):
You did the rubbings beside the crypts and could then go inside for tea.
British Museum:
Holding British Roman artifacts.
We spent a lot of time looking at birds because Elspeth loved them. She would hold full conversations for pigeon pairs who we passed on the street.
“Mommy where you going?”
“I going to the museum.”
“What will we see?”
“Stuff.”
At Kensington Gardens we saw more birds as well as a little ramp so that the ducks could climb in and out of the fountain pools.
Then at the Science Museum Elspeth even got to be a bird!
First a glimpse at our hotel and the girls’ favourtie hiding place.
Gotta see Buckingham Palace.
We had to buckle in Elspeth’s chips because it was such a windy day.
Then off to Green Park.
Now some familiar sights.
Oh how these small signs drove us crazy. They are quite difficult to see on the sides of building, especially when multiple streets go at angles from each other. Made navigating an adventure.
These stalls lined the banks of the Seine river. I wondered what they were on the first morning until I saw them opened up.
Water bottle filling stations:
Gardens:
They were selling these medals to celebrate making it to the top. Made her day as much to make it to the top as to have a medal to show for her efforts.
Admiring the Rosetta Stone.
My all time favourite
“Mommy! Where the rich people got married on television!” “Yes Katrine. That is where the prince and princess got married.”
