Greenwich Day Out
We had a magik day out over in Greenwich & it did'nt rain!!!
After eating are picnic we walked up to the Royal Observatory, free to visit, my teen was a little disappointed that she could'nt look though the 28-inch Refracting Telescope, this is the largest conventional telescope in Great Britain & the eighth largest refractor in the world, but she left them a Comment Card & what do you know they have sent a letter back telling her when you can go to one of there "An Evening with the Stars"(the ones in the sky).
