After an early morning shower the day ended up being dry, cold and windy.
Enjoyed a morning at the opening of The View at The Shard. The Shard is now the tallest building in Europe clad entirely in Glass. A remarkable building allowing incredible views of London and beyond.
From the start I have taken an interest in the construction of this building taking photographs over the last two years showing progress.
Afternoon spent at The Tower of London, although interested in History I sadly do not have a brain that allows me to remember dates!

Dry, cold and very windy.
Arrived in London late morning, hotel overlooking Tower of London. Enjoyed Pie & Chips watered down with a pint of Chiswick Bitter before meeting Jackie at the Natural History Museum.
Enjoyed two hours looking around the BBC Wildlife Photography Competition before a three hour visit to the DNA Labs' that Jackie controls. I was lost for words, the work involved in collecting this information was quite frankly, amazing. I was indebted to Jackie for finding the time not only to explain but to take us 'behind the scenes'.
Meeting Justin and enjoying an Argentinian Steak Dinner finished the day well good!
Mild and very windy.
Loads more paperwork connected with Mum's estate and Funeral with visits to Solicitor and Estate Agent.
Looking forward to a couple of days in London.
Mild but showery day.
Day spent on paperwork for Solicitor.
Very wet, very mild.
Day spent clearing Mum's room at the Care Home.
Difficult day making phone calls, Lulu and Clive joined us for most of the day.
RIP Mum, your last few months of suffering now finally over. You really can now Rest in Peace. xx
