Here's today's report from London - I went to the Tower! (No, Birdie, that's not a grain elevator! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ) (What's that, B-W? Off-topic? Setting a bad example? Oh, I suppose you're right; I will try to make it a bit more Tolkien...) The whole complex had a Minas Tirith feeling for me - medieval buildings, towers and walls. Maril, you would have appreciated the display of swords and other weapons, though the ones I thought pretty seemed rather impractical, what with all the gems on them. The crown jewels are magnificent; the world's largest diamond is quite impressive, even if it ain't no Silmaril.
Do I wish you were all here? Sure - as long as you pay your own admission; tickets are expensive!
