The Endeavour at the National Maritime Museum of Australia. It`s a replica, but a very good one. You can go onboard and take a look around - all those ropes, how did they cope?

The water receeds around the edges of Tunks Park under Long Gully Bridge, but there seems to be another downpour forecast next week, so itbis likely to go under again. But look how green the grass is!!!

The old St James`s Theatre in King St, St James`s was demolished in 1957, it has been replaced with a hideous 1980`s office building and some of the bas-reliefs from the theatre balconies are in the Angel Court side of the building along with this plaque.

Walking from St James`s I popped in to look at Pickering Place, London`s smallest public square, then through St James`s Park and on across Westminster Bridge, by which time it was raining again, so I sheltered under the bridge.
