Silver Vaults/Silbergewölbe

The girls and I went shopping on Holy Thursday and also visited the Silver Vaults.  I priest from St. Mary's had suggested we should visit.  

An Gründonnerstag sind die Mädchen und ich einkaufen gegangen und danach waren wir in den Silbergewölben.  Ein Priester von St. Mary's hatte uns davon erzählt.

We needed a special gluten-free flour mix from Whole Foods.
Hier haben wir glutenfreies Mehl gekauft.  Whole Foods ist eine amerikanische Kette.

The girls had asked me to take them to the newly opened Lindt store in town.
Die Mädchen wollten unbedingt, daß wir den neuen Lindtladen in London besuchen.







And here we are in the London Silver Vaults.
Und hier sind wir in den Silbergewölben. 



This mentions, among other things, that Americans need ice in their drinks to keep them happy.
Dieser Artikel erwähnt, daß Amerikaner immer Eis in ihren Getränken brauchen, um glücklich zu sein.

The Silver Vaults have room after room filled, you guessed it, with silver treasure!
Die Silbergewölbe haben viele Räume und jeder ist, wie man sich wohl vorstellen kann, mit Silber gefüllt.



This crocodile was wonderful.  We talked to one of the shopkeepers: Most of the items for sale are old.
Dieses Krokodil war wunderschön.  Ein Händler hat uns erzählt, daß die meisten der Verkaufsobjekte alt sind.

Hier ist ein Video über die Silbergewölbe.

  1. Belated Easter Blessings to you all. I’m sorry I’ve been remiss in catching up with here or even posting on the blog. I’m dealing with some unexplained additional symptoms that seem to point to allergic reactions so my GP has re referred me to immunology but I’ve no idea of the wait time. Trying to find safe foods to eat is a real challenge and I was quite poorly during Holy Week. The news of the Holy Father was the last straw 😢. We are hoping to watch the funeral via EWTN but the BBC is also covering the event. Sending hugs to you xx

    1. Happy Easter, dear San! I was wondering how you were doing. Allergic reactions are no fun. Yes, we were also quite shocked when Pope Francis dies because he had been doing better. Did you watch the funeral? We only saw snippets.

    2. Happy Divine Mercy Sunday 💕. We are off to church this afternoon, Praise God 🙂. We watched the entire funeral mass via the BBC channel and they did a really good job with the coverage and extra info for anyone watching who wasn’t Catholic. I don’t envy those Cardinals in the conclave xxx

  2. How funny about the Americans needing ice . . and how true, much to my annoyance as I cannot tolerate ice in my drinks except on very hot summer days! I am always asking restaurants here to leave ice out of my water! The Lindt store looks fun to visit, did you buy chocolate?! The Silver Vaults are interesting! So many pretty silver items. I love that crocodile, teapot (?) and bunny :)
