26th July - Beach trip
Today we set off on a road trip to Mallaig. On the way, in the mist, we saw a bridge.
After some very tiring sitting in the car we stopped and had a comfort break at "The Green Welly".
Next place of interest on the way was Glencoe.
An interesting beehive cairn.
Another view at Glencoe.
And another.
And another.
The sea view from Mallaig.
View of Mallaig harbour.
Next stop, the silver sands at Morar.
More of the silver sands.
And yet more.
And more.
And more.
And more.
And more.
And more.
And the sun was beginning to set just as we came back through Glencoe.

July 20th - Brighton
Today we headed down to Brighton. Here you can see the old pier in the foreground and the new pier in the background.
This used to be a toilet, I used it once many many years ago.
Couple of deck chairs watching the old pier.
Looking back at Brighton from the pier.

18th July - Wimbledon
After our day in Kew we drove the short trip to Wimbledon, parked on the common, then wandered down to Tootsies for tea.
18th July - Kew Gardens
Today, after a brief detour via Leyton to get petrol, we switched on the sat nav in the car to take us to Kew Gardens. It took us an interesting route via Camden, Euston and Hammersmith but did get us there in the end. Once we found the car park we made our way in and first stop was the treetop walk.
Which we walked round.

The lift wasn't working.

Round the back.

A giant lily pad.
Plants in the glass house.
The roof of the glass house needs a clean.
Looking down the spiral staircase.

The pagoda.
The Japanese garden.
A bonsai.
A vegetable garden.

16th July 2008 - London
You leave London for 2 years and they knock down the Swiss Centre. How inconsiderate.
The BP Summer Screening in Trafalgar Square.
The Kung Fu Panda in Leicester Square.
Covent Garden looking towards the Apple Market & the Punch & Judy pub.
The old DM Dept. Store which is now an Oakley store. My office used to be on the top floor.
