Last couple of days saw us mostly at home waiting for weather. Shirley returned from Wales and her and Kath left for Malta yesterday.
Nicer day today so Mum and I toddled down to Greenwich proper and with sun out able to get some nicer pictures of the area.
Cutty Sark
We went through parts of the old naval college and sadly the Painted Hall is still being renovated so unable to see the full ceiling. Went to the chapel, which is great in its own right.
The old navel college was built on the site of the old Greenwich Palace which was demolished in 1641 to make way for the christophe wren inspired college. As below it was where Henry VIII, Mary and first Lizzie were born. They were also baptised in the Greenwich St Alfreges church.

We wandered a bit and then made our way back to the High St for a welcome cup of coffee.

After that we came back via sipermarket and now resting up again. Hopefully weather will hold and we will attempt the London tour tomorrow.
