Back in October Mrs JP and I spent a week in London followed by a repostioning cruise from Southampton - Belfast - Cork (couldn't land due to weather) - Halifax - New York City

Not much classic car spotage on the cruise :D but I do like big things that move - and they did have a go cart track which was a hoot!

Missed a Escort Mexico and a Midget pootling along. It was amazing seeing how many cars were in daily use.

Also loved this - which I passed on the way to the Underground every day.

The Jag Shop -seemed to be a restoration shop. There was a gorgeous E Type parked in front one morning. That said I was even more taken by the Morris sign to the left.

Oh and it was odd to see a descendant - electric and all (kids these days)

Not vehicle related but, we spent half a day in Richmond where they filmed Ted Lasso.

Oh and, in Halifax we went to Pier 21. This is Canada's equivalent to Ellis Island. We were able to find and have printed the ships info from when my mother, her sister and separately my uncle came to Canada. Also Tori's parents

This is my mom's
