Pints over Paintings

We started the day at the morning service in Westminster Abbey, just amazing! Even better the usual choir was absent and since we were there SO early (thanks Wayne) we were able to sit in the choir seats - very lucky ! Even for an atheist and a Presbyterian it was very impressive, you can't help but get swept up in the ceremony and history. After a thorough spiritual cleansing and a cup of tea, we jumped on the ferry and set sail for Greenwich, where we had great plans of visiting a Canaletto painting at the Royal River Exhibition on display at the Maritime Museum, instead we wandered into a pub next to the newly reopened (following it's restoration) Cutty Sark Exhibition and had a fantastic lunch and several drinks and promptly dismissed visiting the museum. We did however recover our sightseeing credibility by travelling further up the river to the Thames Barrier,  built 20 years ago to prevent London flooding - a very impressive piece of engineering. Another Lovely Day x
