Just back from London this week.
Love London, especially South Bank book stalls and Southwark. Was nearly arrested for breaking in to Highgate Cemetery as a younger man; they did not believe that I wanted only to see the grave of the man who invented Hovis bread.

Now. London calls. How does it call? What happens to you when you hear it calling? You may 'see' these famous places, but what do you feel? Dig in there and share it with somebody. The anoynimity of Writerscafe means you can have litle fear of any negative feedback in regard to your written feelings, thoughts.

Terrific write England is one of the places I would love to visit someday and especially London as two of my poetic influences (Keats, Shelley) came from that part of the world.

I am a little jealous . . . you have a whole, wonderful new world at your fingertips, a world my ancestors probably knew once . . .

Wow what a creative tribute to your home. Well done as always, you just keep me coming back like a swallow to Capistrano. My your muse never let you rest!
