We were at the seaside for
last week's Sunday
Snap with a shot of old pier and the new i360 attraction. I asked
where they were located and the answer is
Brighton
Sunning themselves in a
deckchair with the right answer were Kara,
Cheryl,
Anne, Emma,
Susan, Erica,
Liz
and Jen.
We are back in London for
this week's Sunday Snap taken by Mr JibberJabber. The Monument is
situated just 61m away from the site of the historic event it was
built to commemorate. The 61m is also the height of The Monument. It
was designed by Sir Christopher Wren and work started on it in 1671 –
five years after the original event. Wren intended it to double up as
a place for scientific experiments for the Royal Society. Its
position in the City of London meant that the vibrations from the
traffic rendered these experiments useless. After this it was opened
to the public to let them climb the 311 stairs to the viewing gallery
to have an opportunity to see across London. At the time it was built
it was the highest viewpoint in London. This week's question is
Which event does the The
Monument commemorate?
We were joined last week by
Betty
with the beautiful Holland Gardens in New Zealand. Kara has been
having fun at
the beach and fighting fires on the merry-go-round.
It time for the tooth fairy to visit at Cheryl's
with two front teeth falling out. Anne
shared the chilly autumn scenes by the school. Determined not to let
the supermoon pass unphotographed Susan
waiting until the early hours for the clouds to pass. Finally, in
Sweden Ulrika
was on the long, straight and icy road.
