Keira, aren't they gorgeous? I still remember on my first visit to London how exciting it was to see the Sutton Hoo stuff at the British Museum. All that gold? Yum!
I'm adding British Museum to the list I'm starting of places to visit in London. This is a fresh list for the trip that has some chance of happening in August. My first! So exciting!
As you know, the actual list of things to see is as long as I'm tall (shhh, no rude comments about my height and lack thereof).
However, I have to consider family who'll be with me, and a stay of 6-7 days only, and suddenly a fresh list of few items is the only thing possible.
