A day trip to Lille





Thanks to some vouchers one of my brothers was unable to use, I spent yesterday in Lille. Nougat is always a winner for my mother, so I stepped into Meert's for a slice and to inhale the heady aromas of the various teas they sell. This was a fav for De Gaulle, hence his bust in the window. And there's a chemist's opposite...

Had most of the 15thC section of the art gallery to myself, which was different.

Jubilee, the last post

Promise.

To end the story. Summoned to a jubilee lunch at my parent's house, the food had turned retro. Suddenly, sandwich spread sandwiches and jelly were for tea. Due to unusual circumstances, just now, my mother had to rush off immediately after lunch, leaving me in charge of re-heating things for ambulance brother's arrival after work. Ambulance brother did a 9 hour shift with no meal break and decided to go straight home, so I duly bagged up a haul of goodies sufficient to last to the end of Wednesday and then got a text. Text said, 'jelly in the fridge don't forget the sandwiches.' I ate another portion of jelly before leaving so it looked like it was being eaten.

Below is the medal that members of the armed and emergency services who have at least five years service have received to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee.


Now back to the sandwiches. Haven't had homemade egg ones for a while. Yum.

Celebrating the Queen's reign in the rain




-Photo from The Daily Telegraph.

All very exciting. Great music from the AAM and the LPO, amongst others.
I liked the row boats best, because it looked kinda Venetian, in an overcast way.

Somewhat chilly and comedy rain on the way home.

interesting walk round Northumberland Ave and The Strand in an effort to get to Charing X, but made it onto a train and got a seat.
