Oh no Sarahbear - you need to leave your hubby by the nearest bar and head straight for the Palace!!!!!

Pandora - I knew you would be! I will be too! Hopefully on 8th July which is the last day of that exhibition for a week or two!

I'll definitely try and go in July. Are the tickets on sale already?

I'll be in new York during the June exhibition.

 

[rosetta]

Oh tickets are being sold. I'll fork out for two and drag the hubby with me

LD - I was round at the Tower today to pick a gift for my daughter up at the gift shop. They didn't have it in the outside one and I'd forgotten my pass so they gave me an escort to and from the Jewel Tower shop to get it (D turned 3 today... crazy how fast time goes).

Anyway, the guy had worked at the Tower for the last 3 years and told me some interesting bits and pieces during the walk - the main one being that the actual bit where heads got chopped off is in the courtyard between the entrance to the Jewel House and the White Tower. The site marked on the lawn is just put there as it's better logistically not to have people all standing taking photographs in the main thoroughfare!
