At 0700 this morning we met up in Glastonbury Town Hall Car Park, jumped on a very nice taylors_coaches coach, driven by Kieran for a trip to housesofparliament for a fascinating tour of the ancient Westminster Hall, Central Lobby, House of Lords and St Stephen’s Hall. We couldn’t go into the House of Commons as the budget was being delivered, but just being in the building for such a prestigious event was almost as good!
Then off for a walk past the Cenotaph, Downing Street, the Home of the Household Cavalry, Trafalgar Square and into St James’ Park for a late lunch before heading back to the coach for the long journey home.
So many thank yous to make: to the committee for funding the travel, to the Tours team at the Houses of Parliament, to Sarah D**e MP for the invite, to Taylor’s Coaches, to the volunteers that made it happen, to the cadets for being so well behaved during the day and to the parents for making sure they were all there on time this morning!
It is 12 years since we last visited. We won’t leave it as long next time!
