Goodbye, London

London is a place full of history. It's time to say goodbye, but I think goodbye are sad and I 'd rather say hello.  We hoped to learn more about our world and to return as changed people someday.

Gretna Green

Gretna Green is a village in the south of Scotland famous for runaway weddings.
In 1754 , an English law stopped couples under 21 marrying without their parents' permission. But in Scotland it was permitted for girls from the age of 12, and for boys aged 14 or older. Moreover, anyone in Scotland could marry a couple by "declaration."
With such a relaxed arrangement within reach of England it soon led to the inevitable influx of countless thousands of young couples running-away to marry over the border. Gretna Green was the first village in Scotland and conveniently situated on the main route from London into Scotland.

Though its raining all day, the trees and flowers very relaxing :)
