Title: Extra pre birthday surprise
Post by: kpnuts on October 15, 2017, 07:57:22 pm

Hi all well my soon to be wife and our best friends took me to London for a weekend of sight seeing(I've always wanted to do the London open top bus tour so for my 60th they went all out) so we did the open top bus tour we saw the tower of London and the crown jewels we went on the London eye and went in Madame tussauds.
Today we went for afternoon tea and a cruise on the Thames.
I have an amazing missus and fantastic friends, I'm such a lucky bloke.

Happy birthday mate, glad to see you enjoyed the sights. You are most certainly a lucky bloke, you are blessed with a great better half as I am!
I like your birthday surprises (not jealous in anyway! )
A cruise on the Thames is a great way of seeing London as long as you don't swim in it or drink it! (I work for a major water company named after the river, I can guarantee that the water we process is much much better quality!)
I hope you passed the Belfast! (A future project maybe?!)
Great pics, thanks for sharing them with us.
Take care.
Dave

Happy birthday :-))  You sound like an Aussie tourist {-)  My wife and I did exactly the same as you did on a couple of visits to London some years ago, and loved it. London is a fabulous city, even my wife, who generally hates cities, loved it. There's so much to see, and much of it can be done on foot, although the open top bus tour, and the river cruise either to Greenwich or Kew Gardens (or both) are must dos.


Peter.

Happy birthday Ken  :-)) That afternoon tea looked the business, you were well spolit by your lovely fiance. I am pleased to see she is so well recovered from her horrible back injury last year. Here's to another year of fine modelling from the KPNuts household.
