...feeling very lucky to be sitting in this magnificent city and not be surrounded by hoards of tourists! It feels familiar to me: the sun is shining, not a cloud in the sky, no wind, just the sound of water in the Shakespeare fountain and strains of Michael Jacksons' 'Beat It' as street performers are cheered by the surrounding crowd! It's like a dream to be back here and days like this; just wandering and taking it all in, make it all the more sweet! No rushi...

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? No...indeed the real life.

...on the tube...circle line. Get out at the 4th exit...up the stairs and, with a tear in my eye (well...) there it is! Silent, yet still impressive! Does not matter how many times I have seen it, it never fails to feel like the first time! I always remember the tesco-to-go right next door so have to go buy something.
