London Out-Takes, 1

There are always interesting people
on the London Underground...at least
he's masked!

On our Bloomsbury Walk, not the first "shoot" we've walked into

End of tracking shot with famous actor and actress for a show
we didn't get the name of...on channel 4, I think

Hey, everybody makes mistakes! But the Russell
family still own much of Bloomsbury, including,
presumably, much of the University of London...

Tough times for churches

A current events book display at Waterstones..."things can only
get better"

It is July 11th, the day of the final contest of the Euro Cup at 
Wembley, and even in Bloomsbury there are roving bands of
already inebriated young men, boisterously singing the songs 
that football fans sing; every venue in the city has been booked
for weeks for giant TV viewings of the match; sadly, after a
valiant effort, their best since The Age of the Beatles, the Three
Lions lost, in an over-time penalty shoot-out to Italy, who
brought a 33-win streak into the tournament

When doing signage, always hire a spell-checker

Every weekend for a month the hospital facility across the street
has been packed with young people in line for their 2nd jabs...
good on 'em!

Urban camo at St. Pancras

The first rule of Flight Club is you do not talk about Flight Club

So we are out walking to Camden town and its
garden center when we pass by St. Pancras' Garden
and decide to go in for a look

Wonders were awaiting us: first, the Hardy Tree...long story 
short is that young Thomas was working for an architectural
firm tasked with moving the cemetery out of the way of the
train tracks being laid to Kings Cross; he piled the leftover
tombstones by the closest available tree; and there they remain!

Thus; click to enlarge and you'll see the tree has actually grown
into the stones

And it was here in 1968 that the Beatles did their famous Mad Day
Out series for the White album

Me, there; only part of the bench is shown; the other part is
occupied by a person who very kindly moved his beer bottle
out of the frame...strangely, he didn't ask us for money

At a City of London office tower

From the book of manners and etiquette at Hampton Court's
Great Hall; no Beano in the Tudor Age

All across London, there is no signage more often seen than this

Perhaps not what was meant...

Tree vs. iron, episode #419

At the British Library; don't gum up
the pages

This is what happens when everything must go

But you still have to wear a mask

We have learned a new word, "mudlarking"; look it up

Doing my part to support British gardening: Cori Anne, Venus,
and Basil XXIV

My world is forever changed...see previous post...I'll never be
able to see this favorite T-shirt in quite the same way
