It's a great idea though and this bottle is a fantastic idea for the fourth plinth! Good to see I'm not too late to see it too, I'll have to make a point of going to see it. I'd quite like it to stay there for good but I suppose it's better to see a variety of pieces up there.Jessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360936507322491939.post-28106925611699851862010-09-20T16:06:02.314+01:002010-09-20T16:06:02.314+01:00What wonderful memories London seems to evoke... L...What wonderful memories London seems to evoke... Love that poem, it really made me laugh! The ship in the bottle is new. It was the answer to 'what to do with the fourth plinth at Trafalgar Square'. Have a look at this link, which tells you all about it: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1280834/Trafalgar-Square-Fourth-Plinth-Yinka-Shonibare-unveils-Nelson-s-Ship-In-A-Bottle.html<br /><br />Thanks very much to both of you for your comments. Thank goodness I now get 'sneek previews' of comments sent to my e-mail, because I think I would have missed both your comments otherwise. How lovely to know that readers sometimes go back through the blog to bits that interest them...

Though I quite like this version too:<br /><br />Pussycat, Pussycat where have you been?<br />Licking your lips and whiskers so clean.<br />Pussycat, Pussycat, purring and pudgy.<br />Pussycat, Pussycat, WHERE IS OUR BUDGIE?!<br /><br />A little cruel and I think I would have cried if I'd heard that one when I was younger but it does make me laugh now!<br /><br />I was interested to see that you felt you'd lived away from big cities for too long, as I'm the opposite. I live just outside of London and I'm happy with that, as I'm close enough to go whenever I want to but far enough away to not see the dark side of it. My favourite part of London is Covent Garden, especially at Christmas. My mum and I are booked into <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.silverdoor.co.uk/serviced-apartments/london">London serviced apartments</a> in Covent Garden for a weekend this December, I've been looking forward to it for months.<br /><br />I love that picture of the Victory in a bottle too. Where is that? I've never seen it before.Jessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360936507322491939.post-37005580965045919802010-09-05T23:24:47.765+01:002010-09-05T23:24:47.765+01:00It was nice looking at all these pictures of Londo...It was nice looking at all these pictures of London. <br />I had a pen pal for a couple of months then came over to visit her (she came to visit me in France at Easter.) I arrived in Victoria speaking hardly a word of English. She lived in Dagenham, near Romford. I fell in love with London and England then. I had come with a group (for the travelling part only) and was 13 ½ years old – it was in 1953 – so you see London was different then. I went back so many times I cannot count and loved every time I went. The last time I went my mother had just died and all the planes from Paris going to Atlanta were full until after Christmas, so I took the train to London, stayed 2 days (till Christmas eve) then flew to Atlanta. I was alone again and sad because of my mother’s passing, but being in London made me feel better. This was in 2002. Maybe I’ll go to London next Spring.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360936507322491939.post-28235411010791698662010-08-23T20:34:31.684+01:002010-08-23T20:34:31.684+01:00Matías, you're quite right - for every picture...Matías, you're quite right - for every picture you see there were several similar ones, and at the time the slides were developed I just selected the best and chucked the rest. In other cases I've been able to zoom in and/or crop ones which were part good and part bad, or the underexposed ones, which thanks to Picassa I've been able to bring back to life. That section at the end was inspired by your blog, by the way - I do like the way you always finish with old family photographs and a postcard - it gives the blog a feeling of continuity, and links one post to another, not to mention a respect for the past, in your case, which I like.<br />CarolineLonicerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141723287143567146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360936507322491939.post-68894699653104708222010-08-23T05:09:12.706+01:002010-08-23T05:09:12.706+01:00I love your non digital pictues.

Just right for keeping you cool as you tramp about... I do agree with you about the crowds, I absolutely hate them - but in winter you get crowds from different parts of the world to the crowds in the summer... I've never seen so many people everywhere, all the time...<br />Skinny??!! I wish. <br />CarolineLonicerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141723287143567146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360936507322491939.post-3245809683102339772010-08-20T19:22:04.687+01:002010-08-20T19:22:04.687+01:00ohhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhh :) and look at your skinny s...ohhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhh :) and look at your skinny self...I am gagging to come over again.

The weather looks cold. We had great weather and not so many tourists as in the summer. And my feet hurt like h*ll every night after walking on those cobblestones for hours each day. Want to see the countryside of England next time we go in a few years. At least you all speak the same language as me-or so I think you do! I find crowds harder now that I got older. Not sure why. I prefer the quiet and fewer people. The only thing we didn't do in London was go on the Eye. Loved all the other sights. Huge city and the underground is amazing.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400904095865742386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360936507322491939.post-49365605582879006912010-08-20T10:43:21.354+01:002010-08-20T10:43:21.354+01:00Oh so nice to see all those sights of London - rem...Oh so nice to see all those sights of London - remember seeing them all many years ago when my then husband and I spent a week being tourists - I just love all the history - except of course the London Eye which wasn't there then - those views are amazing.
