I've just finished a tour for 390th Bomb Group Memorial Museum from Tucson. We visited the sites of a number of US airbases in East Anglia, including Parham Airfield Museum near Framlingham, the home of the 390th in WW2. A very enjoyable job, nice people on the tour and fantastic volunteers at the various Bomb Group Museums. And I learnt a lot, as well.

I don't often guide Runnymede, but was there a couple of days ago, with an Australian client. The pool is a very good art installation (as they like to call them) -Writ on Water- with the words of clause 39 of Magna Carta reflected in the pool.
Next day I got the privileged view of the Windsor Castle Guard change. Royal Artillery and the Irish Guards.

Watching the return to Buckingham Palace after the Trooping of the Colour.
I pleased my American family by showing Mum the Royal family, especially Katherine & the kids, and the son studying aeronautical engineering, the latest RAF front line aircraft.

British redcoats in the moat garden at Windsor Castle last weekend for a Georgian fisplay.
They gave a demonstration of musket drill, finishing with us all shouting 'Bang' when the order to fire was given.
They talked of shooting at Frenchmen and colonial Americans!

It's always good to get some live music in London.
I spent this evening seeing 1980s band The Loft (Up the Hill and Down the Slope) in a room above a pub in Islington.
Who needs stadium gigs.

Today, I was lucky enough to take a small group into the Map Room at Southwick House on the hill above Portmouth. It's still the original map used for Admiral Ramsey's planning of Operation Neptune - the naval part of the DDay landings.
Not usually open to the public, as it's on a working military base, we were escorted off by a soldier in a 4x4. My ex Royal Marine coach driver kept referring to him as a 'pongo'!
On the ferry to Normandy with the group, as I type this.

I only visit Salisbury Cathedral once or twice a year, and today it coincided with a marriage blessing and rather fabulous solo version of Ave Maria.
It impressed my clients from Florida.
