I will be behind with posting to the blog as I've already been in gorgeous Wales for two days now. With 700+ photos taken in London I thought I'd start with a post on my visit to Greenwich to visit the baptismal Church of gr gr grandfather Frederich Williams. I fell in love with Greenwich - its rich maritime history and buildings, St Alfege itself, the quaint village streets and the awesome views over London from Observatory Hill. It was an emotional visit to St Alfege and on my way out a St Alfege rose was still in bloom - just for me, of course. The photos are in no particular order because BLOGGER IS BEING MEAN and shuffling them all over the place! And my narrative is short because I'm fed up with blogger today! Stay tuned for PART 2 - London!

My first glimpse of St Alphege in the distance, I recognised it immediately
The wedding taking place on my arrival - went off had lunch and came back and on our the return the wonderful volunteer ladies gave a talk and a tour throughout the Church and took all of the details I had on gr gr grandfather which were noted in a book for the Church 'expert' on these matters. If any further information comes to light I will be contacted.
