On sunday I thought I would go to Kensington Palace and have a look at the tributes left for Princess Diana. It was 10 years ago that I came to England for the first time - arriving a week after her death - and was amazed then at the amount of flowers left at Buckingham Palace.
There weren't a huge amount of flowers and tributes left this time, but I walked the length of the fence where people had attached pictures, poems and written messages. It was very emotional (I found myself dabbing away spots of moisture from my eyes...) - the 
messages were so heartfelt.
messages were so heartfelt.I felt a bit weird taking photo's, but here are a few. The golden dandelion was an art installation, in memory of Diana.
After that I needed a good walk around Hyde Park to dry off the eye-leakages, and ended up at the perfect place to make me feel better - Oxford St for shopping. I went to buy PJ's, and came away with a bag full of stuff. Sigh...

Hi Nina,
I wondered what was the significance of a giant typewriter golf ball on a stick ... but looking at it close up found it was really quite lovely!
Thank you for continuing to produce the virtual holiday for us back in Melbourne.
Paula.
