Interesting tidbit about the museum, I was there about 10 years ago, and there was a plexiglass donation box which had in it about 30% pounds, 20% Euros, and 50% U.S. dollars !
I got to save up and visit my ancestors home at Stowe.
I wonder what they will say (the guides) when I tell them that this is my ancestral home. Or at least one of them.
The other place I would visit is Horndon On Hill since that was where another was burned at the stake during Bloody Marys reign.
As for my Scottish..I have been there done that.
If they have restarted the Windsor Castle tours after the wedding don’t miss it. Great out of London day trip. Dont forget to rent the earphone recorders for details about what you are seeing. You won’t believe your eyes.
Do your own walking tour. Stop at pubs for refreshments. I wore out a pair of shoes.
British Museum. Golden treasures and the original Rosetta stone.
So much to do, so little time.
You could do the Jack the Ripper tour, or stop in for a pint in his pick up spot of old...The Ten Bells.
Then there’s always the Bloody Tower.

The Indian restaurants in the city center are on the pricey side but they are super tasty. Have some spicy Sag Paneer for me.
Oh, don’t film anything outside an active trial as they will say you are disturbing the peace and will have you before a judge within an hour and off to jail for a year within minutes after: same day service.
Free speech is dead in the UK. Dead.
I know it’s not in London but oh, Stonehenge!

Cotswolds, Statford-upon-avon, Drury Lane theater (very old) and hope you have a good time, which I’m sure you will!
Cheerio!
Remember to blend in by wearing a bowler hat and saying Ello Ello Ello and doing a silly walk.

Visit Tommy Robinson in jail. Visit Alfie Evans’s grave. Then go to Harrods and count how many Muslims you see.
The Black Friars pub
Don’t say anything negative about Islam or you might end up in jail.
j/k barely
I wouldn’t visit a shithole Country that jails political dissidents, and dooms them to a death sentence.
A coin purse for all the change, or large pockets. Don’t forget to shop Laura Ashkey’s for your sweetheart.
Good luck to you and don't forget to write.
Keep a sharp eye on the trucks (lorries) transiting your position.
The London Dungeon and Highgate Cemetery.
I was going to add The Museum of the Moving Image, but it apparently closed in 1999.
If you have time, hop over to Strafford on Avon. Maybe catch a play at the Shakespeare theater.
Stay away from anyone wearing a beard.
I have the Chess CD. it was sent to me by a radio host as a prize for answering a trivia question (and supplying a theme that he has now used twice.) It's an interesting piece.
I saw Young Frankenstein on Broadway. A fun show. "The Transylvania Mania" is a hoot!
Will you be back Stateside in time for the Tony Awards on June 10?
Be careful if you drive. Driving clockwise on roundabouts while sitting on the opposite side of the auto is a wierd experience.
You can get used to driving on the opposite side of the road, shifting gears with your left hand, sitting on the opposite side of the car, but nothing will move your review mirror to top right from top left.
Enjoy your holiday. I’ll be there also next week.
