A weekend in London

25 Mar in The Cottage | Comments (0)

I love living where we do, which is in a very beautiful, small village in Hampshire for many reasons, but it’s also perfectly positioned as it’s only an hour from London (by train  that is – about 2 hours by car). I LOVE London! From the minute I arrive in the City I go into complete sensory overload and am aware of all the wonderful things I miss out on by living in the country……..

We went over the weekend, one of our clients – Auditel Franchise -  was nominated for a best website award and the award ceremony was on friday night  and also, my sister Rosy was arriving for a visit from Australia.

Tessa’s only request for the weekend was to go to the Tower of London, which we did on Saturday. What a beautiful day it was, we have been treated with some glorious days lately and it was perfect to be wondering around a place of such historical importance.

When visiting the Tower, you can join one of the tours which are given by various Yeoman of the Guard. This is well worth doing – the Yeoman are interesting, full of  fascinating details and entertaining too. Our guide was Chris.

Now, I know that sometimes I do ramble on about things unrelated to jewellery, but this is not one of those posts because the Tower of London is where the Crown Jewels are kept!

Chris, gave the girls in the group this advice regarding the Crown Jewels:

” Take a long look at those massive diamonds, look into your husbands loving eyes, look back at the Crown Jewels, look at the minuscule diamond ring on your finger and then slap your husband!“
