Cognizance Skills Needed

Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek

In June (oh my, that seems so long ago), my Hubby took me to see the Phantom of the Opera in Her Majesty's Royal Theatre in London. Remember? I made you sit through two weeks of a playlist mostly consisting of Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman.

Well, back on New Year's Day, the #1 son and I did a whirlwind walking/tube tour of London-- causing his newly naked toe (ingrown toenail removed days prior) to swell and not look very happy. But that's not what this story is about.

After said limper and I quickly snapped pictures of the Tower of London and walked along the Thames to then cross the Tower Bridge, we sped by the HMS Belfast (link shows you the ship) and made our way towards a little shopping area so that he could buy a few touristy things like keychains for double the price of what they'd cost us elsewhere.
As we were creating our own tailwind along the pavements, we passed a very posh looking pub.

The glass gleamed and the brass sparkled. There were draught pulls that twinkled, they were so clean. The interior shouted "Elegance!!" (translation: "Too expensive for you Yank, keep on walking").
I wanted to snap a shot, but chose to keep up our pace instead.

So, in June when Hubby and I were there (see how nicely I lead you back to the beginning?), also doing the whirlwind tour since our babysitter was doomed for pumpkin status shortly, I made the Hubby pose outside the pub.

Only then did I catch the name.
