That newsreel is amazing. When my wife told me about the fire I had no idea how dramatic or widespread it had been. It looks bad enough on the surface, but to go down in those cellars, into the gloom and smoke, and fight fire is beyond heroism. And it was all in a day’s work for those poor chaps.
And on a lighter note, I don’t often get chance to pop into a pub when I’m out walking because I’ve usually got a long drive at the end of it. But when the chance arises, caution does tend to get cast to the wind.
Cheers, Alen

I especially like the idea of heading into a pub for a pint and a warm on a cold day – although thinking about it a pint on a hot day would be good too.

Smithfield market looks like an interesting place for photography. Have you seen the old Pathe news reel of the fire in 1958 – brave men.

St Bart’s was great because the organist was having a practice ??? which always adds to the atmosphere ??? and the staff were really friendly and chatty. It’s a beautiful church and one where you can just sit and meditate ??? then go for a cup of tea.
Cheers, Alen

One day I may have the chance to visit and wander myself. Looks like I’d have to include St Barts on my tour. Class. :-)

Must admit, it was the coldest few days I’ve had for a long time, but the really pleasant thing about London is you can nip in a good pub almost anywhere to get out of the weather. That doesn’t happen often when you’re up in the mountains. It’s a great place and there’s so much to see.
Cheers, Alen

Need to get back to London and have another few days there. Not been there other than business since November, so much history so much to see. The greatest city in the world!
