Home from the Platinum Jubilee Trip To London

My photos are out of order but that is only what blogger and my computer allows so please persevere.

First is my latest Jubilee cross stitch, just started. A pretty design with lots of bead work by Maria Diaz.

My cross stitch of The Queen By Andy Warhol. In London I was lucky enough to see the real painting,  signed by Andy W. I think my cross stitch is a near perfect copy

    

A new addition to my family above. Please meet Little Ted. Here she is in my carry on luggage ready for the long flight home. Little Ted is a Merrythought bear Made in England same as Big Ted.

I dressed Little Ted as a Jubilee bear as the souvenirs for the Jubilee were few and not that nice so L.Ted is a very welcome addition.

Big Ted has made Little Ted very welcome. Big Ted shares a birthday with me in August he/she will be 66 years old. I of course am a good bit older.

Here is the real painting signed by Any Warhol, seeing this was one of the many highlights of my trip.

 Here I am in the Mall at 5.30 am claiming my spot with my little stool at the ready. Soon the crowds came and it was hard to move. The crowd was friendly and I had some great conversations while waiting for the Trooping of The Colour and a friendly watcher took my photo.
