Dover Castle and Canterbury Tales...

This week our Wednesday trip was to Dover White Cliffs at the English Channel and to Canterbury. This was such a fun trip despite the fact that I ended up COVERED with mud. I was wearing my Juicy Couture wellies and it was quite muddy outside because it had been raining and I began to slip down this hill, I was going to do anything not to fall on my camera so instead I sacrificed my body and my True Religions. Luckily Chelsea and McKell were close to help me get up. So my shooting photos was interrupted  and I had to attempt to get cleaned up, luckily I had an extra coat on hand ( what are the odds!) Then it was off to Canterbury Cathedral where Thomas Beckett's memorial was. Next was St. Augustines Abby and then we just had a few hours to go out and about in the little town of Canterbury and explore the shops and markets. It was adorable. We grabbed some chips and took a stroll around the city. We found a couple of really wonky buildings.  These are the pictures!

Feed the Birds

Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's the little old bird woman comes In her own special way to the people she call, "Come, buy my bags full of crumbs; Feed the birds Tuppence a bag, Tuppence, Tuppence, Tuppence a bag...

Tuesday was quite a wonderful day. As a group we  walked on the same steps as Mary Poppin's bird woman friend and through giant doors into Sir Christopher Wren's masterpiece St Paul's Cathedral. It was so brilliant! Th entire cathedral a few years back underwent some major cleaning so it was restored to its original exquisiteness. We have seen quite a few Cathedral's while I've been here in London, being that they are such a rich part of english history but this was most definitely my favorite. Every inch was so stunning. 285 steps closer to the top of the Cathedral's dome is the Whispering Gallery where because the wall makes such a perfect circle even the hushed sound of a whisper will run along the wall and you can hear it on the other side. It was great  fun up there whispering things like " man in the red hat" or " hey woman with the bald man" or "hello lady in a blue coat" and then quickly turning away and denying our whispers hahah it was hilarious to watch the people look about for who was calling them! Anywho St. Pauls was very lovely here is a picture of us on the steps but we are teeny tiny in this one because it was so far away.

My new trainers I'm obsessed with....

It may be sad to admit it, but I can't get enough Jonas here. My OJD is kicking in and I'm having withdrawals. I miss my boy's.

Snow Day!

"LONDON, England (CNN) -- The worst snowstorm to hit Britain in 18 years forced the cancellation of more than 650 flights at London's Heathrow airport Monday and shut down the city's bus network, partially paralyzing the British capital." Growing up in California I've never really had a snow day, I mean school cancelled on account of wind? sure,  fire? you bet  and in Idaho snow is just the norm and you're crazy if you think they'd cancel college classes for it. I've never had this glorious little thing called a snow day until this past Monday. We saw on Sunday night the snow start falling pretty heavy but when we woke up on Monday morning it was SO BEAUTIFUL!! A 6 inch deep white blanket covered all of London. Everything was closed- Museums, stores, restaurants, all London Transport was down and for one day all of London paused to play in the snow. Since the all transport was down we walked to Hyde Park and had the biggest snowball fight ever! It was one of the best most hilarious moments of my entire trip so far! Here are a few pictures from my Snow day!!

So my mum sent me the link to this cute little word generator and it took all the words from my blog and made this! Pretty cute huh?
