From Portobello to the Queen's Palace

Marguerite and I have been hitting the streets again this week, soaking up everything we can in London!  We visited the Victoria and Albert Museum, then spent most of Saturday morning checking out the Portobello Market in Notting Hill with Matthew.  Yesterday was quite a treat.  Marguerite and I toured the Buckingham Palace State Rooms (the Queen is on holiday) and got to see Kate Middleton's stunning dress in person! Now if I could just meet the Duchess, I know we would be best friends.  Here are some snapshots from the week! 

Marguerite was ready to get out of the flat and see more of the city

I fell in love with the beautiful 18th century snuffer boxes

Another pretty box

 Marguerite was not as impressed


 Where's Marguerite?

There she is!

It was a bit crowded

I wasn't allowed to take pictures inside, so I took one in the bathroom



After the tour

Marguerite enjoyed the tour was but ready for a nap
