Will your grocery store have a grand opening once it's finished? Those are always fun to go to...they usually have nice sampling of food!!

I believe so, although it will be next summer or fall before the work is done. There has been no announcement about it.

Major work on the Federal courthouse in Regina. The entire front is tented to allow work to proceed throughout the winter months.

Here are two more photos of the ongoing demolition of the Safeway store in my neighborhood.

Yesterday, I managed to visit Hyde Park Corner to see and photograph the various war memorials. Our guest, Tim, came along with me. He commented that the place is reminiscent of the memorial drive in Washington.

There are numerous war memorials at Hyde Park Corner. It's a place for thought. My photographs ...





Looking eastwards towards Birdcage Walk. The metal posts between Wellington Arch and the Duke of Wellington statue are the New Zealand war memorial.

















The Australia War Memorial. Water cascades gently down most of the slate wall, emphasising the place names tooled into the slate.










The Royal Artillery memorial.


















The memorial gate to those from the Indian sub-continent, Africa and the Caribbean who lost their lives in both World Wars.





























The Bomber Command war memorial. There was a crowd there paying respects. The roof metal comes from a Halifax bomber donated by the Bomber Command museum in Canada.

Great pics, Richard. This does remind me of my visit to Washington DC with the memorial wall and fallen soldiers. Beautiful pictures, looks like this was an all day event for you and Tim!

Thanks Skimonkey. Yes, it was an all day one. We fitted in some last minute shopping that morning. Then, once we were back in Bromley we were off to the shops to find the ladies at a reunion. We didn't find them - they were off window shopping. followed by some spending

I see why we need that rest. LOL. Or is it loll about?
