Cathy's visit to the UK - end August 2000

Waterloo Bridge.

The London Eye - infront of the old County Hall (ex home of the GLC) now a tourist hotel/ acquarium/McDonalds.
The London Eye again, with Dali sculpture and advert for the Dali exhibition which was going on at the time.
A couple of days later the Dali sculpture had been changed.
The Millenium Bridge across the Thames from St Pauls to the new Tate Modern art gallery.  Unfortunately there is no one using the bridge as it was closed down soon after it was opened, as it wobbled if too many people walked on it at once.
Close up of the Millenium Bridge - great architecture, shame about the wobble.

The Tate Modern - within the shell of the old Bankside power station.
Inside the Tate Modern.
One of the sculptures in the Tate Modern.
The palace of Westminster (parliament building) with Big Ben.  Note the BLUE SKY!!
Richmond upon Thames in south west London.  View from Richmond Bridge.
Richmond again.
The Thames at Richmond - and resident ducks.
Ducks paddling at Richmond.
The opposite bank of the Thames at Richmond.
Cows grazing in a field by the river, just a short walk down the Thames path from Richmond town centre.
OK some people shots.

Dinner out at the 'Fire Station' near Waterloo Station with Keith, Sarah and Helen.

Pauline in her new flat in Swiss Cottage, near Finchley Road tube station.
Dinner out with the hockey girls.  At 'Shoeless Joe's' with Emma, Kate, Sarah Jane and Jill.
An evening with Neb, Charlotte and son Leo.  Here Leo plays with the furniture.
Now Leo plays with - I don't know quite what.
Leo being read to by mum Charlotte, with Brie lookin on.
Was supposed to be a timed group shot - but didn't quite work.  From the left: Liz, Neb, Brie (space for me) and Charlotte.
Another failed group shot.
Back up to Yorkshire to stay with Dad & Brenda, and the dogs and cats.  Here Benji and Suki play in the back patio.

Benji, posing for the camera.

Suki lazing on the garden chair.

Ollie, somewhat quizzically stares at the camera.

Dad and Benji play while Brenda prepares lunch.
The house, with its view of the Dales.  Again, note the BLUE SKY!!
Back home - and a great view of the ice flows on the edge of Greenland.
Another shot of the ice and snow of Greenland.
