Diane deserted me today and decided that she would leave me on the boat out of harms way, where I couldn't possibly get into any trouble whatsoever, and head off into London for a bit of a look around.
Little did she realise that it was not me that would get into any sort of trouble, but it was to be her -
 |
| leaving the boat... |
 |
| ... I walked her to the station - still no problems |
She caught the underground service
- Piccadilly line - to Hyde Park Corner and a walk down Constitution Hill; it was around she spotted a few blokes out for a bit of a ride on their horses
 |
| Wellington Arch |
 |
| Such a lovely day in the sunshine, ready for.... |
 |
...all of the crowds at Buck House - the lone police officer (centre) had spent
15 minutes convincing the people that they couldn't cross, but... |
 |
| ...they could wait no longer - the toilets were on the other side... |
 |
| ...oh and some wanted to see this. |
 |
| including this young lass |
 |
| 'ere you go then |
 |
| Liz wasn't at home today - not the Royal Standard flying above |
 |
| Looking down the Mall |
After the excitement at the Palace, she had to retrace her steps back near Wellington Arch to recover a lens cover she had left there earlier, and found the war memorials for Australian troops and New Zealand troops
 |
The NZ memorial -gotta love that they have included a rugby ball - third post
from the left |
Further down, opposite the Palace, were some of the world's press and TV stations, apparently waiting for some young tyke to come along - cannot see what the fuss is about.
 |
| Diane just liked the look of this building |
 |
| The AA building - they've done alright for themselves |
 |
| The memorial for the Crimean War... |
 |
| ...and of course to Florence Nightingale |
In amongst all of her escapades, she managed to have one of her diabetic episodes - she had eaten her "just-in-case" reserves but was still low - when that happens she cannot make a sensible decision, but she got through it thanks to Costa - coffee and a panini - the coffee didn't help much, just wanted the caffeine.
She found the cause of the problem - one too many pills in the morning; she is of concern and now I will have to buy a length of rope to make sure that she doesn't stray away from the boat without me - it can also double for her to pull the boat along when we move.
No travel
