Bashful’s big day out
Posted: January 6, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: london, sightseeing, St Paul's Tower of London 71 CommentsYesterday mummy and Bashful headed into London for a day of sightseeing. They did most of the popular sights and then in the afternoon they met up with Nanny and Grampy for the Twelfth Night celebrations outside the Globe.
I’ve captioned the photos below to show where they were taken, though I’d imagine most of them are obvious. Bashful’s pretty tired now, so I think he’s going to rest up today.

It was very interesting to see these photos. I hope to see these sights in person one day. what a lucky rock! The play must have been amazing! 🙂
It was loads of fun and the make up on the holly man was fantastic!
What an incredible day out your Mummy took Bashful on! Love all the places they visited, especially the George Pub 😀
Isn’t the George lovely, can just imagine old horse drawn carriages out the front:-)
You feel like you’ve stepped back in time!

Pawsome day out for Bashful. We know he is having a blast of a time. Have a marvellous Monday.

Thanks Molly, i think he enjoyed himself
WOW oh WOW…Bashful sure had a busy day full of great sightseeing. I think he got to do more sights that most two-leggeds do…so when is your sightseeing day scheduled?
Oh dante, I don’t think I get to go:-(
My goodness! That was QUITE an adventure for Bashful AND your Mummy – I bet you wish you’d been along Misaki…..very exciting and I’m sure Bashful told you ALLLLL about it!
Hugs, Sammy
I wish I’d been there, so unfair I couldn’t go:-(
That’s an adventure! How great that Bashful was in London with your mom. Have you seen HRM too? Bet the parade of the Horse Guards and the Band was just for your mom and Bashful :o)
The parade was pretty cool! Unfortunately Queenie wasn’t around, otherwise I’m sure she would’ve rushed out to meet Bashful
Tee Hee – I love Bashful. Wow, what a time you are having. I love London. Been far too long since I’ve been there. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that 2014 brings you an abundance of joy
You should pop over and visit:-)
OMP (oh my pig!) I love these pictures. That little pebble of mine is the luckiest little tyke around. I only wish I could visit these places – they are amazing!! What a wonderful field trip he had with ya’ll Misaki. Just think of the education you gave him. Thank you very, VERY much for sharing your parents. XOXO – Bacon

OMD Bashful REALLY saw all the FAMOUS stuffs in London… and even sampled Mulled Wine and BEER…
Our Mom has seen the London Bridge… that got moved to the U.S.A….
That’s my trip to London also. She was in Lake Havasu (we live in Arizona) and asked for directions to the bridge but She was only 100 feet from it.
Oh no, I forgot to add in the pic of the boring London Bridge in London doh! Would love to see the one in the US
It’s really the original London Bridge-brought over and reconstructed stone by stone. Not a copy-it really is the original bridge.
Wow Misaki
Bashful had a full day…we love the pictures
Hugs
Madi and mom
Thanks so much Madi
Reblogged this on Pig Love.
Well, I recognize the Starbucks cup, but that’s about it. Thanks for the descriptions !
hehehe:-)
Wow, Bashful had a busy time!
he sure gets about
Thank you for sharing your awesome pictures with us. It looks like Bashful had a great time seeing the sites of London. Love, Cali, Andy, Tater and Shelly (C.A.T.S)
He sure did!
Goodness! Bashful is a rockin’ rollin’ stone!!!! Hmm, mulled wine.. 🙂 Great clicks and places!
He sure is!
Bashful, you sure are having a jolly good time! Woooooowooooooo!
He really is!
Does Bashful have a passport?
Your Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
He does And has more stamps in it than my mummy does lol
Love all your pictures! You all must have been awfully tired from all that sightseeing. How thoughtful of you to bring Bashful with you! He looks like he’s having a grand time!
Thanks, I sure hope he is:-)
Hi Misaki! I must have missed a lot – why is your mummy taking a rock out when she could be having fun with you?
All the best for 2014!
My thoughts exactly!!
Bashful is Bacon’s (http://piglove.wordpress.com/) pet rock, he’s on his world tour. He’s been staying with us over christmas and mummy has been showing him the sights.
I think he is trying to take your place Misaki, I’d bury him in the garden if I were you bawahwhahhwha xxooxxx
Mollie and Alfie
me too! I think he’ll be heading home soon!
Yey, looks like tones of fun… and they even bought you a coffee so you can cope better with all that sightseeing….
So, what did Bashful like the best?
I bet it was a Big Ben 🙂
He enjoyed Big Ben alot, but I think his favourite was Buckingham Palace:-)
oooo Royal Bashful 🙂
Busy boy! He really hit all the important stuff. I hope the bus fare wasn’t too expensive! He really could’ve shared a seat!
Love and licks,
Cupcake
he sure was a seat-hogger, but mummy made him stand when an old lady got on
Arooooo, Misaki. Ma says that some of those photos remind her of her visit to London as a child! She asks, “What happened to all the pigeons in Trafalgar Square?”. BOL Great photos. So glad mom and Bashful had a wonderful day out and about.
*Cairn cuddles*

Mummy remembers feeding the pigeons too! But they were considered a health hazard so they stopped selling food and when that didn’t work they sent in hawks to err ask them nicely to leave lol
Looks like Bashful got to take in all the major sites of London! Hope he enjoyed them! Lee and Phod
he sure did!
Great photos.
Sheba.

Hey Misaki
Did they have to pay extra for bashful to have his own seat on the train? 🙂
I hope you’re having a fun day,
Your pal Snoopy 🙂
