“The one thing I remember about London is that is were always raining, except on those days when it weren’t raining, then it were always particularly overcast”.

After a sixty year absence we are back in my home town and as far as I can see it hasn’t changed a bit, not that I can remember that much being six years old when the family packed up and moved to warmer climes. One thing is definite – the weather is the same, cool, damp with a slight chance of sun.

We dropped the car of at Victoria Cross at about four post meridiem (practice makes perfect) and it took over three hours to walk back to Earls Court (where all good Aussies stay) there’s just so much to see in a small area…. Buckingham Palace, Green Park, Hyde Park, Albert Memorial, Albert Hall, Nelsons Gate not to mention the numerous statues and other large objects d’art.

By the way, it’s twenty degrees in London today the same as Sydney, the only difference is it’s raining here.
