Up and away...

There's the blue ship I told you to remember! - "Thalassa"

Coming in to land

Looking back

Mobile Cinema At Greenwich

This was showing short 10 minute films - all free!

Projector in the glass bubble

Tall Ships At Greenwich - The Ships

 

Just missed this one - talking to the medics too long!

Keep your eye on this blue one...

Tall Ships At Greenwich - The Emergency Cover

Sitting in the Gypsy Moth pub - like you do - before seeing the ships, I noticed the registration plate of the ambulance parked outside:

Company Name - First Aid Cover Ltd 

Registration - P999 FAC

The car is - V999 FAC

This one is - M999 FAC

 

Apparently, when the company was started the owner bought up all these 999 plates for his vehicles.

Being the "Boss", his plate is B999 FAC we were told.

St.Alban's Abbey

 

Which one do you prefer?

The Queens's House - Greenwich

After Eltham Palace we called in to see The Queen's House in Greenwich part of which has been recently reopened

View from the front door

Spectacular spiral staircase

Entrance Hall

Rather ornate ceilings

The grounds.

It would be good to come back later in the year to see the gardens t their best as they seem very well tended

Eltham Palace 3

Some views of the Great Hall - very impressive
