I Spy Friday featuring Our Bridge

So, today...

I've officially been living in the UK for one whole year!!!

Can you believe it?  I certainly can't.

Some days if feels like we've  just arrived and others it seems we've been here forever.

I need to sit down and write my One Year Well-Expat Check Up;
to really take a look at what the last year has meant to me.


After work tonight, we are off on a quick Winter Trip to celebrate our anniversary and TE's birthday!

We're flying to Zurich, Switzerland,

then taking a train to Salzburg, Austria via an overnight stop in Innsbruck, Austria.

We will be flying back on Wednesday with tons of pictures!

In the mean time, here are a few photos of Tower Bridge.

It's my favorite site in London. 

We have dubbed it "our bridge" and I can't pass by without taking a picture.

 

 

 

Fun Facts about Tower Bridge:

It's often mistakenly call London Bridge which is just upstream.

Construction began in 1886 and the bridge opened in 1894.

It was originally greyish-green but was painted red, white & blue in 1977

for Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee.

It's a suspension bridge and is opened about 1,000 times each year.

The speed limit is 20 mph and 

every London cabbie claims at least one speeding ticket from Tower Bridge.  

 I even got a 3D Tower Bridge puzzle for Christmas!

I'll post another picture when I've finished it.  

I hope you have a lovely weekend!!
