And so to the last day of my holiday ... that sounds grand, but when I think I only had 2 nights stay in London, yet how much I managed to see, it did seem a true holiday.
I took my suitcase to Victoria and left it there, so that I could spend the day without that weight to cart around.
Once I had dropped it off I made my way to The Museum Of London - a museum I rememebered fondly, and found that it had been updated, but was still as "full" as ever. The paid display was on nursing care, etc, through the ages and decided that I saw enough at work to not see while I was on holiday!
Anyway - a lovely trip.
The first part was, obviously, pre-history ... and I actually took a photo of some of the dinasaur bones. These actually come from the farm of the people who ran the Chapel that I attended as a child. They had a lot of clay and it was dug up, making land-fill ... that is until the bones were discovered, then things got very slow. So it was fun to actully see them labelled, and realised that I knew the farm in question!
( Neighbours of long ago )Next came the Romans ... and there was even a glass wall area so that you could actually see the Roman Wall of London with the rest of the displays.
( Romans )The museum is chronological and well laid out ... as far as the 1960's ... with the final display in the cafe being that of the Woodentops ... a favourite programme of mine as a kid. here is an episode, if you don't know what I'm talking about -
