As much as I would have loved to go away to chase some swimming in a lake or beach, I had some mundane tasks to attend to
so decided to make the most of the decent weather of late and be a tourist in London.

I had never been to Buckingham Palace before and decided that I should finally visit it during its limited opening season as they also had a special Coronation exhibition on where you could see the Coronation gown. Let me safely tell you that the Queen had a fabulous figure with the smallest waist and quite a bust.
I am sorry to tell you that there was an absolute ban on photos inside and the stewards were vigilant so there was no way I was going to risk the royal family's wrath.
If you would like to see pictures of the interior, you can click here.
What I can show you is pictures of some of the items in the gift shop. There were so many people and queues of shoppers
at the till that I was thinking that the this gift shop was
the true source of their wealth...
