I find that England's villages offer the perfect medium between quaintness and beauty.

Love has made, or broken both men and women since the beginning of humanity. King Richard II ordered the medieval Shene Palace to be demolished in 1394 out of profound grief after his beloved wife, Queen Anne of Bohemia, died there from the plague. The site of the Palace later became Richmond palace which was later demolished in the 1600s. We often detach ourselves from the emotion of our ancestors. But, in reality, their experiences of love, and pain were exactly the same as the ones afflicting us today.

London's majesty is often hid just out of view. This bronze statue of Francis Bacon by Frederick William Pomeroy (1912) resides in front of the law library in the garden that Bacon designed at Gray's Inn, London. This lovely spot sits behind/beside the Cittie of York pub which was once over the road of its current site and said to be a drinking spot for Francis Bacon. This is what modern architects should be aspiring to.

Though I can't be sure, when I'm asked me which London pub looks the best, my mind immediately pictures the Victorian, triangular frontage of the Cockpit on St Andrew's Hill. Thanks to the door, hanging baskets, brickwork, paintwork, windows, old signs, and many other features.

I've always wanted to be in the background of a rap video...... Just standing about, leaning, putting most of my weight on one leg, screwfacing, shrugging my shoulders, a little bounce in my step, nodding my head a lyrics I favour, throwing my hands around like I'm really bad at sign language. I think I'd be really good at that, definitely seems like something I could do

✍️ Emperor Napoleon I to Joséphine de Beauharnais (Empress of France) "I thought I loved you some days ago; but, since I saw you, I feel that I love you even a thousand times more. Ever since I have known you, I worship you more every day; which proves how false is the maxim of La Bruyère that “Love comes all at once.” Everything in nature has a regular course, and different degrees of growth. Ah! pray let me see some of your faults; be less beautiful, less gracious, less tender, and, especially, less kind; above all never be jealous, never weep; your tears madden me, fire my blood. Be sure that it is no longer possible for me to have a thought except for you, or an idea of which you shall not be the judge."

Britain's pubs are a Britons true home away from home.

The Anchor & Hope (15 High Hill Ferry, London E5 9HE) is the mid-19th century pub facing the River Lea and looking across to Walthamstow Marshes. It originally served a local community of watermen, bargemen, chandlers, and local industrial workers, particularly those in the nearby dyeing trade. Nowadays, it operates as a Fuller's pub and remains a beloved landmark tucked away by the river towpath. Public houses like this aren't only a key insight into our past, but living museums that we should enjoy and preserve long into the future. We've lost so many pubs just like this, which is a crime in many ways. If you're ever nearby, stop in and see it for yourself. 🤝
