The last time we'd been on Canadian soil was the beginning of Jan 2023, so
after over 2 ½ years we decided it was time to return to the homeland.
Some things don't change - like rush hour traffic in Toronto. But, I saw this sign and it made me smile.
Not all Canadians, but a lot, are really nice, polite and friendly people.
And some even have a sense of humour.
It is a historic parade ground where the annual Trooping the Colour ceremony is held.
As the official entrance to St James’s Palace and Buckingham Palace it is guarded by the Household Cavalry.
What makes it extra special is that most people head to
Buckingham Palace to see the changing of the guards, which leaves the lesser-known
Horse Guards Parade very accessible
So that means you can get really close to all the action without the throngs of annoying tourists and selfie sticks.
London always has a pull for us.
In part because we lived there for 2 years, and, in part because it is such a fantastic city.
Not to mention, the weather is always so appealing.
I do have my favourite spots, and one of the top spots I always like start with is Trafalgar Square.
NOTE: The fantastic weather part is said tongue in cheek.
