British Library

My trip to St. Pancras Station to try to book my chunnel trip, took me close to the British Library. So I made a visit. Quite a fascinating place. Many original documents. The Magna Carta is there. As well many ancient religious text, both Christian and other faiths. Original writings from many geniuses of the ages, such as Michelangelo, De Vinci, Darwin, etc. Several pieces from Shakespeare. Original text from authors such as Jane Austin, Thomas Hardy, etc. And musical scores from Beethoven, Handel and on. And my daughter, Bethany, would love the originally words from the Beatles, including one John Lennon wrote on the back of first birthday card for his son. So much history, so much creativity, so much that has given enjoyment and meaning to people over the ages. A great visit
