Fish and Chips

So Sharrie says that she wants the best fish and chips in London. She looks it up on google of course and finds Geales in Notting Hill. This being London, no problem - 2 tube stops away. So this is what Fish and Chips is supposed to taste like! I could live on this stuff!

A word about the tube - as I said about the fish and chips, this is how a tube is supposed to be. The London tube system is sublime. I could live on this tube system. No car, no cab, no problem!

Today we went to Baker St, not for Sherlock but to the Wallace Museum of Armor and Weapons. First we viewed the Treasures of the Black Death - jewels and gold and other precious metals hidden during the Black Death in the hope that survivors would be able to return for it. They were not. Then we marveled at the craftsmanship and outright beauty of 13th - 14th century armor. Sorry, no pictures allowed.

We finished the day lounging in Regents Park amongst the swans, and flowers and (as Sharrie called them) brown headed English type ducks.
