Today was an on your own day. Marty and I started off in the morning by going to Spitalfields Market. We found some jewelry and scarves and a few other fun things. She left around 11:00 to go north with Darrin and Dennis and Nancy. I stayed behind. As I was walking back a delightful young lady, who looked like Madonna in the 80's asked, "Do you need a little pump up?" I looked confused, but took her up on her offer. She made me over with Benefit make-up, but the best part was her singing along to Lauryn Hill as she was right in close applying the magic potions. I ate lunch at the market and watched as several older folks ballroom danced away the dinner hour. One gentleman even had "blue-suede shoes" and a matching cobalt silk shirt. They were having a grand time.

Walk Home at Night, London, 27 July 2006
Nice hand holding the sconce.
"Virgin Mother" statue at the Royal Academy of Arts; GORGEOUS!
This is quite the sleek, clean dentist office.
The kind of cake I'm not allergic to - Smallbone Showroom in Kensington. 
Kew Palace
Recently restored - it was not painted this gorgeous orange when I was here in 1985. The interior was nice how they mixed the use of technology to tell the story of King George the III and his family who lived here. Kew palace is designed in the Jacobean style.
The River Thames at Kew
The river was extremely clean (ha) as you can tell from this picture.
Low tide?
The boats are land locked on our way to Kew Gardens
Later in the day, the water is back and the boats can go on their merry way.

Houses in Bexleyheath
Gate and the assymmetrical baskets make the front of this house interesting.
Thatched roof.
Cute red door and climbing plants mark the entry of the door.
