Good Day Sunshine

Good day sunshine, good day sunshine, good day sunshine

I need to laugh and when the sun is out
I've got something I can laugh about
I feel good in a special way
I'm in love and it's a sunny day

We take a walk, the sun is shining down
Burns my feet as they touch the ground

Then we'd lie beneath the shady tree
I love her and she's loving me
She feels good, she knows she's looking fine
I'm so proud to know that she is mine.

Good day sunshine
Good day...

(The Beatles)

Momento from the United Kingdom

"Release your expectations of holidays and be open to surprises..."

(The Brass Big Ben Bell)

The Big Ben of London

Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, and is usually extended to refer to the clock and the clock tower The tower is officially known as Elizabeth Tower, renamed to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II in 2012; previously it was known simply as the Clock Tower. When completed in 1859, it was, says clockmaker Ian Westworth, “the prince of timekeepers: the biggest, most accurate four-faced striking and chiming clock in the world.” The tower had its 150th anniversary on 31 May 2009, during which celebratory events took place.

A British cultural icon, the tower is one of the most prominent symbols of the United Kingdom and is often in the establishing shot of films set in London.

(Brass Candle Holders)

light a candle, see it glow,
watch it dance, when you feel low,
think of me, think of light,
I'll always be here, day or night,

a candle flickers, out of sight,
but in your heart, I still burn bright,
think not of sadness, that I'm not near,
think of gladness, and joyous cheer.


I was in the United Kingdom in April 1995, January 2001, February 2002 and May 2017.
