8/2/12 - On the way to a meeting I stopped off at Shoreham airport for a wander round, its quite well known for several reasons, its the oldest airport in the UK (opened in 1910), and the terminal building built in 1936 is a beautiful Art Deco masterpiece used in many films and TV programmes such as Agatha Christies 'Poirot' and Dan Browns 'The Da Vinci Code'.

Day 399 - Seven Dials
1/2/12 - Here is the Cambridge Theatre currently the home to Matilda, it is located in Seven Dials near Covent Garden in London, We sadly didnt get to see Matilda (yet), we got to see the Wizard of Oz instead . . . .hmmm that was . . . . . interesting.
Day 398 - Westminster Clock Tower
31/1/12 - Here are the Houses of Parliament at sunset, Its not Big Ben, I personally have never seen Big Ben and doubt I ever will see it in person, The clock tower is not even called St Stephens tower as some people suggest, Its just called the Clock tower and Big Ben is the name of the bell that chimes the hour.
