growing collection of costumes. I can't remember who suggested it but one of
our readers said that they'd like to see Bloggy all decked out in a Beefeater
Yeoman of the Guard outfit, the uniform of the Guards at The Tower of London.
And being such a crisp clear day it was the perfect opportunity to use The Tower
and Bridge as the perfect backdrop for a few pictures on Wednesday morning,
the very day just before our Covid National Lockdown which starts today (Thurs 5th).
Unfortunately the grounds of The Tower were sealed off to the public due to the
current pandemic and only pre-booked ticket holders were being let in for tours
of the grounds, which was slightly disappointing as I was hoping to get some
pictures of the real Yeoman Beefeaters.
But The Tower of London is a fascinating as well as historical fortress. It's hard
to believe that the central White Tower was first constructed in 1066 soon after the
Battle of Hastings. But of course the nearby Tower Bridge is not quite so old.
That was built and completed in 1886.
