Then autumn started, and all our attention was focused on our son’s wedding! HOORAY!!! It was lovely and beautiful and amazing! Two weeks after that…
Welcome to one of the most beautiful little gardens in London! The remains of St. Dunstan-in-the-East are tucked away not too far from The Tower of London, and they’re well worth the walk.
