Romeo has been working on a project which involved photographing the London bridges over the Thames. Yesterday he took me to see one place he had visited. It seemed a long way - a bus to Waterloo (we had discussed taking the tube but when we passed the station it was closed due to an 'incident' - so we'd made the best decision) then a train to Shepperton. Right across London for nothing! We love our freedom passes. Thank you to Islington council.
We had this lovely view of the river while we ate our sandwiches.
Lots of lovely old houses - many covered by wisteria in full bloom.
The ladies of Sunbury celebrated the millenium by sewing an embroidery depicting all these houses and such things as the wildlife of the area. They have even built a little house to keep it in. This is a town far removed from the streets of London where such a building could give shelter to the homeless. It is situated in rather a nice walled garden and adjoins a cafe with wonderful home baking ...
I would like to know the name of the tree on the top right with tubular yellow flowers.
