life in the "bor-ah"

<--- This is me and one of my flatmates at Buckingham Palace. We got to watch the changing of the guard, however, the queen and Philip are not there as they are in Scotland for the summer. We learned that you can tell this because the queen has her own flag that flies above the castle when she is there. When she's not, the Britisth flag flies.




<--- I am currently staying in the Royal Borough of Kensington. To the left is one of the tube stop signs nearby. The other tube stop nearby is the Gloucester Road stop. Gloucester, as much as I'd like to pronounce it like it looks, is actually pronounced Glouw-ster. I've also learned since being here that Borough is pronounced Bor-ah. Go figure:)
