Next of London !!

The natural history museum !

Next we went in the natural history museum. It was my favorite part even if there was 45 min to enter in the museum. The natural museum collect the human, animals, natural exhibitions. The enter of the museum is very beautiful, it's like if we go back in the center of the earth. 

This museum show the history of our solar system. It is very full and clear. 

My favorite exhibition is minerals exhib. It is so beautiful, we can see the different minerals and how they are formed. We can see too who had this collection and how they found its. 

The nature is exceptional, and the human is so ridiculous near the earth. 

I think that the dinosaurs exhib is the favorite exhib of  Léo. 

This second day was very interesting and fun. We discovered lots of thinks.

See you soon for the next of our journey.

St. Giles Parish Church of Wrexham

Hi every body !

Today i will talk to you about the biggest Church of Wales.

It's the St. Giles Parish Church which is implanted in Wrexham! It's a beautiful Church because we can see a lot of details of the architecture. This last is very long and great! it's 180-feet long and 135-feet high. This Church was built in 1506 with four striking hexagonal turrets. Inside, some décorations are present. In fact, we have a colourful ceiling of flying musical angels, two early eagle lecterns, and a window which decorated by the artist Edward Burne-Jones and the Royal Welch Fusiliers chapel.

Around this Church, and principally at the entry of this, we have a cemetery. A lot of medieval sculptures are present inside and outdoor the Church like Arrow and a deer.An hymn was created for the Church in 1819: ""From Greenland's Icy Mountains". The tower appeared as one of the Seven Wonders of Wales! Thank you for your attention and see you in 2 weeks!

Birmingham

Hello !!!

With Damien, I went to Birmingham. It was with his family.
Birmingham is a little city with principally a historic town. we was the end of evenning so we didn't visit but we sow the monument like the museum and art Gallery. This monument is like roman era.

The town center is organizated arround the cathedral and the cathedral square. It is beautiful in the night because the cathedral's stained glass are illuminate.

There are other monument and road which are animate. I thought that this city was bigger. It is not my favorite place. It was fun but beside Manchester, Birmingham is less attractive.

See you soon
