I went to good olde London town on a chilly day when the snow was falling,  which was a first for me.

I came here to meet Steff and we decided to go to the Natural History Museum which was another first for me.

It’s a beautiful ornate building which has so much detail carved throughout. It’s a great place to spend a few hours.

This Sequoia below was 1341 years old before being cut down.

After that we went to the National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square. I love this place and I’m always staggered at the detail that can be achieved, some of the paintings are just like photographs.

This guy has a 5 o’clock shadow and plukes.

Many famous people are remembered here and in one room in particular you will find Isimbard Kingdom Brunel, Stephenson. Faraday and Kelvin.

We were going to go for fish and chips for lunch bit at £16.50 we decided to give it a miss.

My favourite era is from the time of the Tudors from about 1540 to 1650.

And after a great day in London it was time to jump back on the Tube and head back to Pinner.
