The long train ride was oh, so worth it when Linus saw us through the front door and excitedly ran to greet us! A bit of homemade cranberry bread and a cup of tea and the two of us were ready for fun with grandsons. Miles has grown so much since our last visit when he was just a week old. He’s now so interactive and fun. Linus couldn’t wait to take us upstairs to show us his Thomas the Tank Train Halloween costume. So much fun!
From London we made our way to Tunbridge Wells in Kent to dance to the strains of The Jive Aces and later enjoyed the opportunity to hobnob with the band members at The Ship and Castle in Portsmouth. Two fabulous experiences!
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
Our last day in London this trip we ventured underground on the Hidden London Charing Cross: Access All Areas Tour for a peek into the workings of The Underground a bit of its history and the uses of the Jubilee Line Charing Cross Station that no longer serves passengers but still has usefulness including as a filming location for movies including Skyfall and Paddington.
