To Let or Toilet

Stratford-Upon-the -Avon

As you can see blogging took second and third place when we were traveling.  Maggie, Tudy and I went from Dublin and caught the ferry to Holyhead then on to Stratford-Upon-the-Avon, learning that we needed an English translator some of the time, and often looking for Toilets, wc's and other facilities.  We loved Stratford-Upon-the Avon, such a quaint town.

"Gherkin" and St. Ethelburga Church

We then took off to see London and unfortunately the showers followed us.  I found that where my great great grandparents lived before they were married was very close to the "gherkin."  I don't have any idea of what it is really called but it is in the financial district of London.  They lived in the block across the street from the small church in the picture. The block was demolished for newer office buildings.

Previously Pea Hen Court Bishopsgate

St. Mary Mooresfield 

 Unfortunately I could not get into the church where Bryan O'Neil and Anne Magennis were married, St. Mary Mooresfield but I have a picture of the outside of the church. The architect designed the Church so that it fit in with the shops that were on the block.
