The Parthenon Marbles at the British Museum. Greece wants them back, but the Brits are not budging. Given the Greek economy, tis probably better to stay put. |
Here are more panoramas from our short holiday to London. Besides the usual sightseeing, there was enough time to see a little bit of the country and visit old friends in Essex.

Not everything is there, but one gets the idea. |

The Great Hall in the Tudor wing of Hampton Court Palace. |
|
Beautiful gardens outside the Georgian wing of Hampton Court Palace. |

The "Secret Garden". |
|
Rapeseed fields in Essex. |
|
Little country town of Hatfield Heath, Essex. |
|
A most British of institutions, a vintage car show at Hatfield Heath. |

The green of Matching Green. This little hamlet was home to painter Augustus John and oilman/athlete/pianist Neil Franks Esq. |
|
The lovely 15th century home Lascelles, Matching Green, now on sale at around GBP 2.5 million. That's cheap by Singapore standards. |
