The only place that was really busy was by Buckingham Palace but I am sure that will change over the coming week as more people flood into the city for the viewing of the Queen and for her funeral and we won't be here for that.<br /><br />No, we will not be headed to Scotland on this trip but we are thinking of returning next summer with the motorhome and visiting more of England, Ireland, Scotland and maybe even Wales but we will see, lots can happen between now and then. We have been to Edinburgh before though but it was back in 1987 when our daughter was only 9 months old. We were up there for a week with my cousin, her husband and family and we stayed in Scotland for a week and visited Edinburgh for a day.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-65860387123572302382022-09-14T02:38:11.772-04:002022-09-14T02:38:11.772-04:00So glad you enjoyed the pictures and the post!So glad you enjoyed the pictures and the post!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-35223244050598476822022-09-14T02:37:35.500-04:002022-09-14T02:37:35.500-04:00No, we definitely didn't expect to be in Londo...No, we definitely didn't expect to be in London or even England for that matter at such an important moment in history!<br /><br />We also noticed that there were only a few subtle differences with Kevin's dad's pictures between then and now but London overall has changed a lot from the 50's with all it's modern skyscrapers.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-5237965927825307102022-09-13T19:05:48.017-04:002022-09-13T19:05:48.017-04:00We really enjoy what you do with your dad's ph...We really enjoy what you do with your dad's photos!

Are you going to go to Scotland. Edinburgh my birthplace has wonderful history, architecture and wonderful places to explore. One of many is Arthur's Seat an ancient volcano which is the main peak around Holyrood Park. Good walk. Also a great walk is the Royal Mile filled with history and great pubs. Enjoy your travels.Momohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350183099679164860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-10855046041037210122022-09-13T17:37:01.398-04:002022-09-13T17:37:01.398-04:00Awesome tour, thank you.
