29 Wednesday  (242-124)

Jimmy came at 9:30 AM to spend the day with us. We tried to go for a chara-banc drive to Canterbury but finally took a steamer trip up the Thames as far is Richmond. We had lunch at Lyons there, and then came back to Madame Tussauds to see the wax works exhibition. The new building has changed for the better and everything looks much cleaner.

There was a great crowd there owing to a heavy downpour of rain. They have a restaurant and cinema attached to Madame Tussauds which is a very good thing. We had tea at ABC's and then returned home. Jimmy stayed to dinner and went home about 10 PM, when we retired to bed after our day touring the London by bus.
