Welcome to 2012

So many of you will have likely made your New Yearrsquos resolutions by now and I wholeheartedly wish you the best of luck Stay the course good citizens

Irsquove often joined you resolving myself to be better in some way Irsquove gone simple mdash the standard lose weight mantra mdash and Irsquove gone complicated mdash be who God made me to be Which leads me to another resolution mdash be less resistant to change

My unease relating to major changes has been a personality trait from way back Irsquod argue I was born with that one but the sci-entific method canrsquot really poke that far into my background Itrsquos kind of like wanting to do a Science Fair project on black holes How does a seventh-grader run an experiment that will prove or disprove their existence (And yeah thatrsquos pretty much what my science teacher asked me)

Big changes are not my thing Little changes were once not my thing but I slowly resigned myself to them as I grew ever lon-ger in the tooth I am much better at this just because of prac-tice really So what magic number do I have to hit where Irsquoll be resigned to the big changes too and take them in stride with class Irsquom still waiting

New Yearrsquos resolutions donrsquot work for me simply put I never feel like Irsquove completely finished the one from the year before Have I ever been able to cross of the list in permanent marker the resolution of ldquolose weightrdquo The answer obviously is no I may be able to be healthier for a time but then I fall off the wagon seemingly right into a bag of gummy bears (Theyrsquore springy so at least they cushion my fall)

Have I attained the goal of being more patient less snappish Ask my coworkers (Irsquoll give you $1 if they donrsquot roll their eyes)

Is my house clean and organized Does my dog go on daily long mentally stimulating walks Are my grandmothers visited more Is my retirement plan doing the best it can for me right now

Am I being who God wantsNopeI know that I fail on a daily basis but I refuse to allow that to

leach over into the rest of my week or month or year If I donrsquot meet a goal for a New Yearrsquos resolution so be it Irsquoll keep work-ing on it and with a little grace I might just get there someday

On my mind

Last year I took you back to those Running Lima Senior Spartans of 1991-92 a team from another era of high school hoops when the scoreboard generally reflected

more of a high-octane offensive display than the way the game is often played today It wasnrsquot unusual to see teams scoring 80 and even 90-plus points on certain nights

And back in the early lsquo90rsquos few teams could match those Runninrsquo Spar-tans who got it off the boards after an

opponentrsquos miss got it into the hands of Demond Lyles or Greg Simpson and more often than not scored

Although the team had many scoring options including Lyles who still holds the record for the most three-point goals in a state tournament game with nine unquestionably it was Greg Simpson who was the teamrsquos No 1 option This month Irsquoll take a closer look at Simpsonrsquos meteoric rise to high-school prominence and the opportunities that once upon a time lay before him

Greg Simpson whose father Phil was a standout athlete at Lima Senior in the late 1960s was drawn to the game

During his West Middle School days it was almost unfair that he was playing against boys who were just beginning to cultivate their basketball skills

Jim Penn the Spartan basketball head coach from 1985 through 1987 recalls ldquoMy lsquo87-rsquo88 squad had several returning lettermen so I was optimistic but I had a problem a lot of coaches can relate to I thought we might be exposed at point guard espe-cially in the ultra-competitive Greater Miami Conference

ldquoNow during that last season I coached Greg was an eighth grader and my coaching staff and I would try to get to as many of Westrsquos games as we could I remember one game in particular West at South at the old South Gym one of Limarsquos great basket-ball landmarks with the seating up on top and that overhang

ldquoGreg scored 30 in a very hostile atmosphere while being dou-ble teamed the entire games I remember telling my coaches as we were leaving that if we had that little eighth-grader right then playing at the varsity level wersquod be winning a whole lot more games He was that goodrdquo

After Penn stepped down as the Spartan coach his successor a mere footnote in Spartan basketball history Brad Ovial who

lasted a single season as Senior Highrsquos coach made a push to have the Lima Senior rule changed that wouldnrsquot allow freshmen to compete at the varsity level

The rule was changed in time for Simpson to play a dozen games his freshman year and during those games he averaged an impressive 138 points Try telling Ottawa Glandorf Simpson was just a freshman on the evening of Feb 11 when he dropped 31 on the Titans

The next year as a sophomore Simpson almost doubled that average playing for Ovialrsquos successor Paul Whitney averaging

261 points per game His season included 34 threes and a season high of 41 against Milford on Jan 19 1990

Simpsonrsquos junior year saw another dramatic jump in his offen-sive output Despite the fact that the Spartans failed to make it out of the Sectionals in the tournament Simpson increased his scor-ing to 316 a game while hitting 51 threes His high game was a 53-point effort against Fairfield on Dec 28 1990 just one bucket shy of the single-game scoring record of 55 set by Joe Fisher against Van Wert in 1970

His junior performance earned Simpson Ohiorsquos Mr Basketball award With 1406 points and a whole senior year to go Greg set his sights on Andre Reedrsquos Lima Senior school record of 1563 points

In his senior year finally Simpsonrsquos innate ability to put the ball in the basket and his teamrsquos success converged The Spartans made it all the way to the state championship game in Colum-bus before bowing to GMC rival Lakota Along the way Simpson scored 940 points easily eclipsing Reedrsquos record while averaging 348 points per

Even more remarkable was the fact that over the entire second half of the regular season from games 11 through 20 Simpson averaged 433 points per including the game in which he bettered Fisher 55-point mark by scoring 57 on Feb 1 1992 against Toledo Start

Simpsonrsquos senior year also included games of 53 and 47 against Findlay a pair of 47-point games against Lakota 46 against Shaw-nee and 45 against Mansfield Senior

His performance earned him a second straight Ohio Mr Basket-ball a feat accomplished consecutively only three other times by

Toledo MacComberrsquos Jimmy Jackson in 1988-89 Akron St Vincent-St Maryrsquos LeBron James in 2001-2-3 and Cincinnati North College Hillrsquos OJ Mayo in 2005-6

Simpson also was selected to play in the prestigious McDonaldrsquos All-American game before attending Ohio State where as a fresh-man he earned accolades as Big 10 Freshman of the Year

While many may choose to remember Simpsonrsquos troubled post-high school basketball life mdash one which included two dismiss-als for disciplinary reasons first from Ohio State and then from West Virginia and a failed attempt to catch on with an NBA team mdash there is no denying he was Limarsquos most prolific offensive high school player ever

Retired LCC basketball coach Bob Seggerson who has either played or coached Lima high school basketball for nearly 50 years had this to say about Simpson ldquoFrom a purely athletic perspective he was the most gifted athlete Irsquove ever watched compete in Lima Really I thought he was a world-class athlete whorsquod have excelled in any sport hersquod have chosen He wasnrsquot just fast He had a burst that made him elite Hand-eye coordination timing an ability to get off the floor quickly and explosively he had every tool you could possibly want a basket ballplayer to have

ldquoAnd something that a lot of people who felt he just got by on natural ability would be surprised by is the fact that he was an absolutely fierce competitor and worked his tail off to improve his gamerdquo

While some may argue that another Lima basketball legend and Ohio Mr Basketball Aaron Hutchins had a better overall game there is no denying when it came to putting the ball in the basket no one did it better and more often than Greg Simpson

AAt Our Age QampA

GENERAL

QI prefer reading by audio book Does Social Security have audio publications

AYes we do You can find them at wwwsocialsecuritygovpubs Some of the publications available include What You Can Do Online How Social Security Can Help You

When A Family Member Dies Apply Online For Social Security Benefits and Your Social Security Card And Number You can listen now at wwwsocialsecuritygovpubs

QI am receiving Social Security retirement benefits and I recently went back to work Do I have to pay Social Security (FICA) taxes on my income

AYes By law your employer must withhold FICA taxes from your paycheck Although you are retired you do receive credit for those new earnings Each year Social

Security automatically credits the new earnings and if your new earnings are higher than in any earlier year used to calcu-late your current benefit your monthly benefit could increase For more information visit wwwsocialsecuritygov or call us at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778)

RETIREMENT

QHow are my retirement benefits calculated

AYour Social Security benefits are based on earn-ings averaged over your lifetime Your actual earn-ings are first adjusted or ldquoindexedrdquo to account

for changes in average wages since the year the earnings were received Then we calculate your average monthly indexed earn-ings during the 35 years in which you earned the most We apply a formula to these earnings and arrive at your basic ben-

efit This is the amount you would receive at your full retire-ment age You may be able to estimate your benefit by using our Retirement Estimator which offers estimates based on your Social Security earnings You can find the Retirement Estimator at wwwsocialsecuritygovestimator

QI know that Social Securityrsquos full retirement age is gradually rising to 67 But does this mean the ldquoearlyrdquo retirement age will also be going up by two years

from age 62 to 64

resources (the things you own) If you have low income and few resources you may be able to get SSI However if you are receiving support from your friend or from anyone else that income will be considered when making a decision on your SSI eligibility and amount Support includes any food or shelter that is given to you or is received by you because someone else pays for it For more information visit wwwsocialsecuritygov and select ldquoSSIrdquo

QMy dad who is receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will be coming to live with me Does he have to report the move to Social Security

AYes An SSI beneficiary must report any change in liv-ing arrangements within 10 days after the month the change occurs If the change is not reported your dad

could receive an incorrect payment or he may not receive all the money that is due Also your dad needs to report his new address to Social Security so that he can receive mail from us Even if benefits are paid by direct deposit we need to be able to get in touch with him He can report the change by tele-phone mail or in person at any Social Security office Keep in mind that failing to report a change to Social Security could result in incorrect payments that may have to be paid back or a

cation might be ldquofast-trackedrdquo for a decision Compassionate Allowances make it possible for applicants to receive a decision on their disability applications within days instead of months or years as long as their medical conditions are so severe that they obviously meet Social Securityrsquos definition of disability Learn more at wwwsocialsecuritygovcompassionateallowances

QDo I automatically get Medicare benefits if Irsquom eligi-ble for disability benefits

AAfter you have received disability benefits for 24 months we will automatically enroll you in Medicare We start counting the 24 months from the month you were enti-

tled to receive disability not the month when you received your first benefit payment Sometimes you can get State Medicaid in

payable for partial disability or short-term disability including benefits while on maternity leave

has ldquoplayed a lot of placesrdquo Averaging 80 dates a year you can find Boedicker performing at private events banquets fairs festi-vals etc Currently he is one of the music leaders at the Bath cam-pus of the Shawnee Community United Methodist Church too

Besides blessing others Jimrsquos music has provided extra income to assist with his sonrsquos medical expenses In explanation the Boedickerrsquos only child 27-year-old Andrew was born with spina bifida along with significant autism

ldquoWe had real financial needs because of my sonrsquos medical needsrdquo said Jim After his sonrsquos birth Boedicker took ldquomore of a business approachrdquo to playing music to supplement the family income The couple continues to care for Andrew at home and are also involved with Bittersweet Farms and the Autism Support Group

Due to his steadfast support at the time of Andrewrsquos birth his former Pastor Dave Thompson has had a great influence on Jimrsquos life He ldquohas been a big encouragement and friendrdquo said Boed-icker Musically he was ldquoreally influenced by Chet Atkins he does everything on the guitarrdquo he said

On Friday nights you will usually find Jim Boedicker entertaining the crowd at Italian restaurant Viva Maria which is located at Lost Creek Golf Course Boedicker is always prepared to take requests from those listening

ldquoI just do family stuff and I think there is a real need for fam-ily entertainmentrdquo Whatever his venue ldquoTo see people laugh and have a good time is real rewarding to merdquo

For the man who has been delighting crowds with his music since he was just a teen Boedicker has learned a lot of lessons along the way The biggest is ldquoStaying in balance You could wear yourself out The older you get the harder it is to keep up with the schedulerdquo he said

As for folks requesting bookings Jim Boedicker hopes that his phone wonrsquot stop ringing anytime soon But with an entertainer as talented as he is you can bet thatrsquos not going to happen

Your Money

What are your new yearrsquos resolutions this year Are your resolutions like most of us focused on spending less and saving more Unfortunately that can only take you so far

There is so much attention given to small financial worries that many seniors neglect larger issues that can have a significant impact on their lives and their families Now is the time for you and your loved ones to think about the big picture to take steps to protect your assets and to start 2012 off on the right foot1 Take advantage of state and federal programs to help pay for medical care prescription drugs at-home care or nursing home care

Seniors have access to a multitude of state and federal programs but many do not take advantage of them because they donrsquot know they exist or they donrsquot know how to enroll In the realm of health care alone ensuring coverage for prescription drugs and utilizing programs that pay for at-home care can significantly impact your monthly finances

Most Ohioans can utilize Medicare Part D to help pay for prescrip-tion drugs and your local State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) can point you toward you the best overall coverage There are a lot of options so itrsquos important to take the time to find the best one for you and your family It also may make sense to work with a professional with a thorough understanding of the possibilities and drawbacks of each program

Nursing home care can be even more burdensome mdash as Medicare pays for only the first 20 days before requiring co-payment To qual-ify for any coverage there also must be a prior three-day hospital stay With average Ohio nursing home costs at more than $6000 per month and all healthcare costs spiraling upward itrsquos critical to have a plan to use all of the resources at your disposal keep expenses from affecting your savings2 Make sure you have a comprehensive strategy to protect your assets from taxes and probate

While clipping coupons can make a dent in your weekly grocery bill ensuring that your savings are secure can make a much bigger long-term financial impact for you and your family Tax planning and estate planning are part of a comprehensive approach to protecting your finances and your future

Tax laws are changing dramatically in 2013 with many rates going up While standard tax advice would encourage deferring payments into the future the prospect of higher rates in 2013 means that in many cases you may want to pay now rather than later

Probate costs are another way your family can lose assets if you donrsquot plan ahead Itrsquos critical to understand the limitations of having

It was all in the familyRichard T Gregg the original owner of

Greggrsquos Department Store died at his home in Lima in 1942 and he was a man to be hon-ored both before and after his death Perhaps his philosophy about business had a lot to do with it for he said ldquoWe will treat each and every cus-tomer as though they were a guest in our homerdquo That thought was religiously carried on genera-tion after generation of the Gregg family

Gregg certainly knew his merchandise as well he should his family had been in the mercantile business since the Revolutionary period He had personally started his own store in Tiffin in 1885 when he was 25 years old It was known as a dry goods sewing and notions store and merchan-dise was top quality because he ordered almost everything from Marshall Field in Chicago And there was a definite friendship between Gregg and Field for when Gregg decided business was slow in Tiffin it was Field who suggested he relocate to Lima

He also knew what the word patience meant One of the things in his possession was a pair of saddlebags which his father used when he rode horseback from Ohio to the wholesale markets to buy things for his store and then had to wait for long periods for the goods to arrive

Gregg opened his store in Lima in 1900 in the Black Block a four story building on North Main Street There were shops on the first floor offices on the second and the Lima Public Library occu-pied the third He began with 5000 square feet of space and when the family eventually bought the building in 1935 he had 218000 square feet that included an annex across the street The idea of moving never crossed his mind for he had moved here when downtown was flourishing and he kept his confidence in its growth He not only ran a successful business but gave back to the com-munity of Lima with his backing everything new that happened here

Gregg had been married before coming to Lima to Emma Jane Beery and three children were born to them Roy Beery Robert T and Margaret Robert T died in 1931 after an auto accident and his wife died in 1945 Upon the senior Greggrsquos death in 1942 ownership passed to his son Roy Beery It was said of Roy that he was ldquoa perfect example of a round peg in a round holerdquo for thebusiness fitted him perfectly It was all he had known his entire life Like his father he had his own philosophy ldquoIf you give the people good values they will patronize you again and againrdquo Roy was the boss over 300 store employees who respected him and carried on all the fine qualities passed down to him He was fondly called ldquothe universal merchantrdquo and seldom did he miss a daily visit to the store right up to the day of his death Robert died in 1967

Robertrsquos death was the end of the line of the Gregg boys and so the management of the store fell to his grandson Thomas Allen Gregg Thomas had joined the firm in 1945 and had retired in 1979 but came back when the department store sales had begun to lag due to changes in downtown the sale of the store from the Gregg family and the new interest in shop-ping the malls Thomas was a true believer in Lima as then-mayor Harry Moyer reported to the Lima News upon Thomasrsquo death ldquoHis was the first downtown business to give $10000 for the purchase of the northeast quadrant of the Squarerdquo That property was later developed into where the Blue Cross (now The Munici-pal) building and the Town Square Apartments are today Thomas died in 1983 and his son took Geoff took over as manager until the store closed in 1985

There was only one place the Gregg family was as faithful to something else besides the store and that was Market Street Presbyterian Church where all generations belonged beginning with that first fam-ily member

Under pressureThe latest kitchen lsquomust haversquo

may be the electric cooker

New electric models are bringing pressure cooking back to the home kitchen and recipes such as pumpkin risotto are easy in them

Photos courtesy of MCT

A quick look at my home kitchen and you might think I was an avowed minimalist One pot a few saucepans and a cher-ished cast-iron skillet A cupboard of bakeware and bowls

and counter space for just a few appliances All the gadgets that can fit in one small drawer A few chosen knives

Noble I wish A would-be cookware junkie Irsquom saved from binge-ing on tools and equipment only by the postage-stamp size of my cooking space To make it in my kitchen an item has to be essential Which is why I canrsquot stop thinking about getting an electric pressure cooker

In addition to cooking foods in a fraction of the normal time with just the push of a few buttons electric pressure cookers promise so much more Completely self-contained there are models that offer automatic timers and multiple functions so you can brown meats and saute vegetables before pressure cooking perhaps simmer in-between steps and keep a dish warm after itrsquos done Some models double as rice cookers steamers and even slow cookers to seal the deal

Irsquove never owned a pressure cooker With all the horror stories Irsquod heard growing up about exploding cookers and dinners ending up on the ceiling I never seriously considered buying one But more friends are getting them and I seem to be noticing them everywhere lately not just in stores but on TV too No Irsquom not talking ldquoFear Factorrdquo but popular cooking shows where chefs brandish pressure cookers to make quick work of slow-cooked dishes for competition shows such as ldquoTop Chefrdquo and ldquoIron Chefrdquo

So is it all hype And what about the electric models mdash are they too good to be true Curious the LA Times Test Kitchen tested five popular electric cookers along with a highly regarded stove-top model for comparison

The results Pleasantly surprisingAt first glance therersquos no confusing an electric pressure cooker for

a traditional stove-top model These babies are nothing like your motherrsquos pressure cooker While many stove-top models look like a sturdy saucepan with an extra handle attached to the lid the electric models are bigger and bulkier mdash picture a slow cooker on steroids mdash bedazzled with buttons and digital displays Theyrsquore big enough to demand prime counter-top real estate yoursquod be hard-pressed to fit one in a normal cabinet The stainless steel All-Clad in particular reminded me of a mini bank vault it was heavier than the other models we tested and its substantial lid transformed at the touch of a button to lock and unlock (Irsquom convinced food mdash anything mdash would be safe in it even in the event of a nuclear holocaust)

Whatrsquos good about the electric models is that they do so many things automatically plug in the cooker press a few buttons and go You donrsquot have to hover over the stove adjusting the burner to regulate pressure or watch the clock to time when a dish is done The electric models switch off automatically mdash often beeping when done mdash slowly releasing pressure and keeping the dishes warm until needed

The digital displays can be extremely helpful in giving up-to-the-minute details on how a dish is progressing Some displays are very simple others much more colorful even entertaining (the Deni had me momentarily mesmerized) But there can be too much informa-tion At first the Cuisinartrsquos display was a little confusing even after reading the manual we still had to look up a video on YouTube to figure it out

All the models we tested had ldquobrowningrdquo andor ldquosauteingrdquo func-tions a convenient feature allowing you to sear meats and brown vegetables in the same pot before cooking While most of the elec-tric models were round our Deni test model was oval mdash much like a heavy-duty stove-top casserole mdash and not as deep as the others but it had more surface area on the bottom of the insert perfect for browning larger batches of food

Having already experienced Ireland on a Trafalgar Tours coach I didnrsquot hesitate when I decided to see what life was like

to Irelandrsquos neighbors to the east England and Wales So I invite you to join me for this the first of a five-par installment

Irsquoll give you my observations and experiences and tell you what I think you should know if you want to see this part of Europe As far as price my travel mate Jane and I received what we thought was a good rate With airfare included the tour was $1900 apiece and that included all lodging full daily breakfasts three full dinners and shuttle transfers to and from Heathrow Airport

While with travel days the trip was 10 days and included Scotland as well Irsquoll get to Scotland next year By doing so I can begin a series in June on my New Eng-land fall colors week-long adventure through much of New Eng-land a trip which also extended itself beyond American boarders into new Brunswick Canada

As we did for Ireland we pre-loaded a Visa travel card with $1000 to supplement our upfront $1900 and some pocket money we intended to exchange to pounds for daily incidentals The card we intended to use to eat our lunches and dinners not cov-ered in Trafalgarrsquos cost

Not only did the card ensure no large credit card bills came when I returned but the dollars-to-pounds conversion was done automatically The card we used mostly for meals not covered in the cost of the tour

After a flight that covered 3331 miles most of which covered

night-time hours we arrived at Heathrow at 815 am on a Sat-urday I am always challenged when it comes to sleeping on a plane so the time worked well for me The Delta flight also worked well for me because above the drop-down tray was my own personal movie screen with a wide array of current movie selections that were free The full meal for me a meatless pasta dish on a Lenten Friday was quite tasty

Heathrow the second busiest airport in the world with only Atlantarsquos Hartsfield-Jackson being busier is like a small city in itself Donrsquot be intimidated though There are all sorts of people to help you get to where you need to be for baggage claim and shuttle transfers and cabs and such

We exchanged some money at the airport always for Ameri-cans a humbling experience because the dollar is so weak com-pared to Irelandrsquos euro and Englandrsquos pound Expect to give that

friendly Brit about two of your dollars for every pound yoursquoll get in return

Our shuttle got us to where we would spend the first two nights in London The Hilton Olympia on Kensington High Street a few blocks down from Princess Dianarsquos last home Kensington Palace

After check-in it was off to explore on our own so we headed for The Tube Londonrsquos underground mass transit system As we walked to the Kensington Station Jane and I saw the same admonishments painted at the street crossings that we saw the year before in Dublin either ldquoLook leftrdquo or ldquoLook rightrdquo They are painted there as a warning to tourists not used to roads where folks are driving vehicles on the left side of the road

Two all-day passes for any Tube ride or double-decker bus ride ran 13 pounds 20 pence in other words a little over $26 As I stepped into the train I couldnrsquot help but notice another direc-tive painted on the cement in front of the train carrsquos threshold ldquoMind the gaprdquo to warn those boarding to step over the small gap between platform and train car

Our first stop was Westminster Abbey which dates to the 11th century and is the huge canrsquot-miss church just west of Westminster Palace one of 10 residential choices available to Queen Elizabeth II Entry was 16 pounds (about $32) for each of us While a bit pricey it was something to which I would grow accustomed since London has a reputation as one of the worldrsquos most expensive cit-ies

I must say The Abbey which many of you saw on TV during Will and Katersquos wedding last April is perhaps the most impressive place Irsquove ever seen Originally it was an abbey for Benedictine monks that is until Henry VIII assumed direct royal control in 1539 and it became a church

Over the years it has been the site of coronations and burials of English mon-archs and other important persons Over 500 royals are buried in The Abbey and in the section known as Poetsrsquo Corner there resides eternally some of Englandrsquos great-est authors mdash Chaucer Tennyson Browning Masefield James Kipling and Dickens among them

Architecturally the most impressive aspect of the church to me was the ceiling well over 100 feet above and comprised of flying buttresses While no flash photog-raphy is allowed I did manage one photo of the ceiling before my impropriety was pointed out by one of the many stewards of the historic building

After leaving we headed for nearby Big Ben with its clock tower completed in 1859 It has become one of Londonrsquos most endearing symbols One misconception Irsquoll clear up is the name Big Ben isnrsquot the name of the clock but of one of the bells the 13-ton beauty that tolls each hour

As for its name there are two theories Some believe the bell was named for Lon-donrsquos first commissioner of works Benjamin Hall a man of formidable girth Others believe the bell was named for a popular heavyweight boxer of the 19th century Ben Count

We also admired the House of Parliament and Parliament Square across the street from the Abbey Further proof of Londonrsquos expense came when I had to answer naturersquos call A turnstile prevented my entry into the public restroom in Parliament Square until I dropped a fifty pence coin (the equivalent of $1) into the slot

We also walked to nearby Westminster Bridge to see what kind of river traffic there was on The Thames that day before returning to our Kensington High Street hotel

We dined at a nice pub down the street called The Hand and Flower on English favorites such as ham and chutney and fish and chips and did a little imbibing My choice was a fine English Ale with a beautiful bronze color Marstons

Next month Irsquoll take you on a morning stroll down Kensington High to see Kens-ington Palace and then out into London on two coach tours one in the morn-ing and one in the afternoon to see Buckingham Palace St Paulrsquos Cathedral The Tower of London and the famous Tower Bridge
