London and LSE Graduation Ceremony 2017

ByMaria July 21, 2017July 22, 2017

Yes, the time had come for us to see our son graduate from London School of Economics (LSE) with a MSc double degree in Global Media and Communications.

This was taken on our first walk since arriving in London. We had two mostly sunny days ahead of us.

We passed a little demo, rooting for baby Charlie, near this place.

The moment we had been waiting for. My husband and I did a High Five.

We joined a very nice reception on the roof top.

Relaxed atmosphere.

The LSE is a good school, and will continue to serve its students very well.

Our next graduation ceremony will take us to Exeter University.

ByMaria July 22, 2017

For the first time ever, we decided not to stay in a hotel, but a rental apartment while in London. We chose a good location on Fleet Street to make it walking distance to LSE for our travel purpose. The frame above the door features the character Punch. Too bad I had just seen one…

ByMaria April 28, 2016

If you need to get away from London’s bustling streets, then a leisurely walk along the Regent’s Canal is a good counter measure. This was in late March, and spring had just turned the corner. Yes, we wondered who inhabits the villas perched on the other side of the canal. Here we left…

Odds and Ends of London
ByMaria August 1, 2017

This is just a medley of different impressions of London. St. Paul’s Cathedral charges GBP 18 p.p. entrance fee. We passed on that offer with only half an hour to spare before heading to the airport. Some alleys lead to more interesting and quiet areas such as this courtyard area off of Fleet Street. The…

On the morning of 1 December, we were blessed with the sight of the first snow in this season. This was taken from the Balcony, a.k.a. Maria’s Beer Balcony. Right now, the beverage to be enjoyed on the balcony is Glühwein (mulled wine). I sent the same photo to my adult children right away. They…

London in March

We stopped by Southwark Cathedral (formerly St. Saviour’s parish), where Shakespeare’s younger brother, Edmond, is buried. His burial place is marked by a ledger stone in the choir area. From the Thames River looking at the Gherkin. Dressed for cool days in London, we came in winter clothing. We had sunny days, and after…

London in March
ByMaria April 26, 2016

These are some of my favorite photos I took in London late March. Blue skies and sunshine galore! London is said to have more sunny days than Miami, FL. Being German and not overly prolific in history, I had never heard of this British war hero, Guy Gibson before. Guy Gibson was one of Bomber…
