This is London

My recent trip to G.B. was enjoyable....saw some of the usual sites...Windsor Castle ....Big Ben ... Abbey Road...Hyde Park etc. My most enjoyable time was spent in the House Of Common and Lords. My Daughters friend was doing an internship there so we got a personal tour. Commons is only about the size of 3 and one half American living rooms Looks much bigger on TV. Local elections were being held in G.B. the next day...Labor was about to take a bath and they looked liked the rainy English weather. There are three pubs in the basement of the bld so many were half in the bag at 11:20 when I met acouple of M.P.'s.
The one thing that struck me the most was how much of London I knew from fiction.....James Bond drove by this park Simon Templar had a violent encounter on that corner of this street. Odd how much one may steeped in history how some things stay with you.
The weather sucked....rain chilly....no wonder my English ancestors left....a warm decent day is a rarity. My fathers side left a place called Rise England in the early 1820's. To my disappointment I discovered there is very little left there...no quaint little village type stuff. Just tracs of farm land.Guess we left in time. Oh well.
BE SEEING YOU.
