"But not off with me head, I beseech you! ...I have a little neck..."
We received our tickets to the Ceremony of Keys on Friday! We got our first choice, Monday, 20th July - our first 24 hours in London.
The history behind the Tower is fascinating, especially the stories of Henry the VIII and his six wives. It gives us a whole different perspective when visiting in July, that's for sure! If you have a chance to watch the video in the link above, it's really interesting. The political and religious story behind Henry is much deeper than the dramatic sibling rivalry depicted in the movie The Other Boleyn Girl.
wow, this is so involved! i love it! i know who i'm gonna call next time i go on vacation - perhaps you've found a new career as a friendly neighborhood travel planner, Mamma B!
