Buses, cemeteries and pirate printing!

We got up early again today to avoid some more building bashing at home.

We're getting another train somewhere!!

.....and we're off!!

It was a very busy train today so we didn't get many photos but we got a video of us crossing the Thames!
We're in London!!

We used the facilities first and left them a floppy disc.

And then went off to get a bus somewhere!!

Aha, here's our bus stop!

Bus bingo alert!!  We got the number 2!!

We gave them a CD!

Right then, where are we going?

Ooo, crossing the Thames again!

Went passed a park...

Past the the Tate Library!

Oh this bit's posh!!!

This bit, not so much....

Oh!!!

This is the Brixton Academy!!

This is an art deco building too!!

We carried on a bit further 

That's rather grand....

CAYKE!!!!!

DONKEY!!!

Oh hang on!

We're getting off here!!  I know where we are!!

It's West Norwood cemetery!!

We've come pirate printing!!

Let's GO!!

That's a mausoleum.....

And after a couple of wrong turns, we found the manhole cover we wanted!!

We did a red one which didn't come out too well....

But then this one came out really well!!
Can you make out what it says?!

After we cleared up, we had a little wander round ...

It's interesting here....

With lots of little paths to wander down....

We like it here

And we fed some crows too!!

And there's some crocuses coming out too!!  We'll make a separate post of all the headstones....

We left a CD on the railings....

And then came here for lunch!!

We got a fizzy drink....

And then we got a grilled steak, fried polenta (that's those cube things at the back, I'm still not sure if I like that), and a salad and chips/fries.  IT WAS YUMMY!!!

After lunch we went to the nearest bus stop....

And got back on the number 2 again!!

They got a CD too

And we're off!

Oh!!

There's another pretty park!

And some graffiti!



This is Stockwell roundabout....

It's a WW2 memorial.

And there's a train going through town!!

We're at Elephant and Castle now....

And crossing over the Thames again!

I like this bus ride....


Oh that's posh....

Oh, this is Grosvenor Gardens!!

We're going up towards Hyde Park now!!

And Hyde Park Corner!

What a glorious day....

Another posh bit...

That's Marylebone Town Hall, that is!

And we got off at the last stop!

That's Marylebone Station!

Then we crossed over the road to this bus stop....

And got the 2 back again!  It's nearly home time!

They got a CD!!

And we're off!

Back through the posh part of town.

Very posh....

Dorchester Hotel, Park Lane very posh!!!

And a fancy gothic building!

That's the Mall....

And here we are at Victoria Station!

We didn't have to wait long for our train, and we got a window seat too!

And we're off!

Crossing the Thames again!

Love this bit!

You can see the South Downs in the distance!

.....just about!....


And we got off here!

And just a walk home.....

Oh, they got the new doors put in!

Andrea got a new bubble bar too.  She's weird.

  1. Excellent adventure! We've not tried polenta... sounds interesting... we know Jamie Oliver uses it so it can't be all bad?
