And I enjoyed very much your take on our great City of London.<br />You mentioned at the end that you were going to write about your experience on the transatlantic crossing you were taking on the QM2. I'm doing the same voyage myself on the 14th September, and would find it fun to read your notes before I sail. Where would I go to find your blog?.<br /><br />Wishing you a happy day.<br />Graham<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07761924188955147401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-32101779657374304722008-11-27T21:46:00.000-05:002008-11-27T21:46:00.000-05:00Thank you so much for the wonderful photos and nar...Thank you so much for the wonderful photos and narrative of your visit in London and the trip back to the US.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00294194276144436244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-26193382184789124082008-11-27T10:43:00.000-05:002008-11-27T10:43:00.000-05:00Argh!

But alas I had a sick little one so it was not to be this time round.<BR/><BR/>Reading of your trip is so familiar to me because I'm an expat and feel similar passion for the things that the British respect and preserve... and similar disdain for the statue of Maggie! It's nice to hear a tourist view of London again because I tend to forget what it's like sometimes - once you live somewhere for a while it can lose its shine. But London is an amazing city, I'm so glad you enjoyed it.<BR/><BR/>And Happy belated Birthday to Tom.

Thanks for all the marvellous photos. I don't get into Town since my best friend, who lived in Covent Garden, died in 2005. But I do go to Cornwall every other year for family visits.

Eons ago when I was there, we felt so relieved to be in England where the officials firmly but politely promoted queues and taking your turn and fair play and sent a couple of stinking rich Americans attempting to bypass a queue to the back of the line. Said officials were most genial and we wanted to cheer.<BR/>Of course, we had been to France first, and after that...<BR/><BR/>MaureenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-60751194273264715112008-11-25T16:31:00.000-05:002008-11-25T16:31:00.000-05:00OMG, your pictures are breathtaking!!!!!!OMG, your pictures are breathtaking!!!!!!Bo...https://www.blogger.com/profile/02136803397641401011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-84851229444302551512008-11-25T15:22:00.000-05:002008-11-25T15:22:00.000-05:00AH.....Franklin, thank you.
