Photos from England October 2002

I had three weeks in England in October 2002. A week at home, in Durham and then Francisco came over. I don't appear to have taken any photos from the first two weeks so we start at the Farmer's Boy Pub with Claire, Ursula and Salman. This was a great reunion.

The girls, Ursula, Claire and Fiona

And after a night with the girls, I had to take Francisco to the tree house tree.

Monday we had a busy day visiting Pickering, Filey (pictured) and York. Great British weather! But we still got to go on the Brig

and play on a seesaw.

Then down to Cambridge. This is King's college. It was very windy!

And Downing College

But then we went down to London. This is the Tower of London where many famous queens were locked up,

This is the lovely Tower Bridge (not London Bridge)

But this is Francisco on Tower Bridge, looking at London Bridge

I like the Lloyd's Bank building (Richard Rodgers). Makes a contrast to the old.

This is new too - the Millennium Bridge

Francisco and I on the Millennium Bridge with St Paul's in the background.

Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament

Francisco outside Buckingham Palace - he didn't get to have tea with the queen but drove us made asking for it!!!

Me in front of Buckingham palace

Francisco trying (and failing) to make the guard laugh.

There is a photo of Alex (brother) and I like this at Trafalgar Square taken when I was about 8. A bit older now.

Francisco sat on a wall in front of the Thames. Look hard and you can see the London Eye.

Back up North and a day out in Derbyshire with Alex and Liz.

Over looking Castleton.

Curry time after a good walk.

The last day was my old friend Sarah's wedding so we had to dress up a bit. We scrub up ok!

Sarah looking very nice and married.

And the old gang of school friends (with two extra and a few missing). Sally, Liz, Francisco, Me, David S, Ursula, Lucy M, Robin, Ben, Greg and Rachel.
