Greenwich Meridian

Britannia felt she must visit the Greenwich Meridian Box today for her studies in British Letterboxing. Not only is it a tourist 'Must Have' photo, but the corresponding letterbox is 'the' most Northern Letterbox on the Prime Meridian. The next landfall is the North Pole!

It was very tricky putting one paw in the east, and one paw in the west for the photograph, so Britannia insisted on sitting in the Eastern Hemisphere for a more decorous photo.

Letterboxing after the rains

At last, we have managed to fit in a couple of hours letterboxing. Britannia, trooper that she is, donned her Gumboots today and helped me check up on some local letterboxes amongst the floods. Two have vanished, which is a shame for Britannia as it meant less for her logbook. Still that is the way of letterboxing. She did get the opportunity to sit in a tree above a box that she helped to plant.



She also took another chance to immerse herself in all things British and had her photo taken near an old British Railway Station House and also had the obligatory photo on a British Letterbox!



We are hoping to get up to the moors on Saturday as the weather is supposed to be good. We shall see. Happy boxing The Yorkshire Tortoise
