London, 30 June 2014

Ben and I went to London for the fascinating Matisse exhibition at Tate Modern.  We walked from Liverpool Street, past St Paul's and over the Millennium Bridge.  Spot the remains of the medieval wharves revealed by the low tide.



From one extreme to the other - Southwark Cathedral and the Shard

The Herb Garret of St Thomas's Church was part of the old St Thomas's Hospital

The Old Operating Theatre in the hospital is the oldest in Europe.  The operating table is the wooden bench in the middle.  The tray to the left is full of sawdust to catch the blood, and the space under the floor was also packed with sawdust to stop the blood dripping into the church below!


Window cleaning on the Shard


Our garden in July

Grapes coming along nicely


Part of the cherry harvest - we had about a kilo from two very small trees and they were delicious!
