Well, I think it was he who said it, anyway. Or Beau Brummel. Anyway, I've 8 minutes and counting on the Library's Internet clock (did I mention it's FREE to go online in the library??!!)

London. Vast, majestic, rich, colourful, eclectic, international, cosmopolitan. It's truly rock 'n roll and I love it.

I went for a walk in London yesterday around the western area surrounding St Paul's. What huge amounts of fun! You should all try it sometime; just find a book with walks in it and go. We even found London's most secret pub!

It's a tiny place hidden away in the narrowest alleyway you can imagine down a private road. (And what's more, the private road is actually part of Cambridgeshire. Fancy that! In the middle of Londres. Amazing.) This particular place was built by some bishop or other in 1526 for his servants and it's Old. It's Rickety. It's Gorgeous.

I love living here.
