Day 19

July 29

Well, it is already cooler today. It is not cold but I had to wear my jeans jacket. We even had a few drops of shower, but again nothing to open the umbrella. Hopefully the weather was nice because it was the day for my Beatles tour : In My Life. We met Richard Porter, the Beatles brain of London, at Marylebone station (pronounce Marlebone). He show us places where Hard Days Night and Help movies had been filmed. He show us the place where Paul and Ringo got married, Marylebone Registry Office. Not together… Paul with Linda (1969) and Ringo with Barbara (1981). Richard got married there too four years ago but there was no screaming when he came out with his new wife! He show us were John and Yoko live together at first. It was in a flat owned by Ringo. Ringo use to live there with Maureen at the beginning of their mariage. He keep the flat and offer it to any one who may need it. Jimi Hendrix live also there just before John and Yoko. (I think Jimy Hendrix moved often) Richard walk us to what was Apple boutique on Baker Street. There is no more psychadelic painting on the wall now. But there is a blue plaque for John Lennon. I was touched by that.
Of course we ended the tour at Abbey Road studio. I know Paul have a house just near the studio, so I went to pass in front. I didn’t saw him tho. I guess he is still in America… Before I leave the tour group, I asked Richard if we ever will see Let It Be in DVD. He said he don’t expected it for soon. George, John, paul and Ringo, all of them don’t like the film of Let It Be. For them it is like if you had make a movie of a divorce. Sad…

One thing, that is really different when you travel alone, is that you can choose to go out the tube at any station at any moment, just because you feel like it. I did that today. I had a coffee on a terrace and walk a little bit to found myself on Picadilly at Green park Station. I walk in the park and notice there was a memorial for Canadian who help the United Kingdom in wold war I and II. I haven’t noticed it before.
