The best place in London to see street art in abundance is the Shoreditch area, and wherever you go, there’s tons of murals, paintings and graffiti of every kind ~ some of it very famous, like the 2 original ones above … Continue reading London’s Street Art @ Shoreditch: Must Go!

In the early morning sun this morning… Just only waiting for the daffodils to come out! Continue reading Chingford Old Church, London E4
Ah, London ~ yes, I love it! Met up with one of my lovely former pupils today, Eshita ~ who I taught at Isamilo School, Mwanza, Tanzania, many years ago when she was just 5…. and now she’s doing all sorts of wonderful things along the line of job coaching and training support for students with learning disabilities in London.

We spent the day in central London on a Walk 4 Life Walk covering the ‘Real West End’, Soho, Chinatown and Covent Garden, all free … Continue reading Yep, I really love London!
A whole day in London on a gloriously sunny but freezing cold winter day – with my uncle, starting with, well ~ the Lyle’s Golden Syrup Machine at Victoria Station!

Sun and blue sky all … Continue reading I LOVE LONDON!

My first day back in the UK with a long list of things to do, including the major excitement of laminating the group photo of last month’s House of Bishops in Taiwan – so with that excuse and clutching my large rolled-up photo, off I go to the big city! Underground train to London Bridge and a walk along Tooley Street to Tower Bridge, and London City Mission – when I lived there many years ago, it was well, like not exactly the highest class area of London – now though the area is all done up, and the old derelict wharves … Continue reading Ah London ~ so much to see, so little time!
Taiwan to UK and now back again…. via London of course ~ and what a great city, though sadly there’s never ever enough time! So only for a few hours on my way here, there and everywhere…. And back to Taiwan last night ~ thanking you all for your prayers and support! Continue reading London, ah, London!
