Chelsea Flower Show & Chelsea Pensioners

Women were admitted as In-Pensioners in 2009 ....and all the pensioners get a sneak preview on the Monday, along with The Queen, with their fab red coats...

Seeing as it's 25.5 degrees today...bet they're happy it was cooler on Monday..

London Gardens

This sweet little garden is at the front of St Peter's, Eaton Square...

No 1 Millbank & Letterboxes

Proper stone carving, rather small letterbox..

Pigeons and Window Ledges...

 Pigeons are the bane of the London window ledge...and instead of frightening and dreadful looking plastic spikes how about these as the deterrent?
