Alphabet less Q V Z

Carter's Steam Fair, Hammersmith

Carter’s Steam Fair, Hammersmith

This clean, happy, cheerful, neighbourhood-sized steam fair was near our 2011 London digs.

Quite unlike anything I’d ever seen in Canada and the signage was wonderfully old-fashioned.

The photo with the carousel includes every letter of the alphabet except Q, V ,and Z.  W, in William, is hiding in the shadows below a drawing of one of the William kings.

Between (the goal posts? Not!)

West Towers

West Towers

St Paul’s Cathedral, London, England, April 2011

Photo taken from the walkway around the exterior of the dome.

The two western towers are topped with a pineapple – a symbol of peace, prosperity and hospitality. Near the top of the south-west tower is a clock, which was installed in 1893 and has three faces, each more than 5 metres in diameter. Above the clock hang Great Tom, the hour bell, and Great Paul, the largest swinging bell in Europe.

I was cheering for England in the World Cup. Alas, they failed to put much between the goal posts, so further progression for England is not to be.
