Living on Brand Street

Buses to & from Waterloo

Have lived in London for over five years and never took a bus. Now having moved, I am on them all the time. So am loving this cute map. Very helpful. Thank you Internet.

The Difference between the United Kingdom, Great Britain and England Explained

I've lived in London for over five years and I have never heard this explained before. Thank you C.G.P. Grey. (Next I hope to learn why Brits don't think they are part of Europe.)

Domesday Map of Greenwich

Loving this. In 1086 Greenwich had 34 households, which apparently was quite large for the times. The lord was Gilbert de Magminot, bishop of Lisieux.

My little piece of (borrowed) earth

Peter Jackson's The Hobbit. Can't. Wait.

Loving. I first read The Hobbit when I was ten and it changed my life I think.

Most beautiful tree ever

Really going to miss Greenwich Park. Did I mention I have to move?

Greenwich Market. My little slice of history is at risk

I need to take some better pictures. Quickly. The developers are winning and who knows how much charm they will strip away from my neighborhood.
Time to move.

Goals like this make me Like football

Really spectacular goal by Wayne Rooney that amazed and delighted even this rookie fan. (The ad is small price to pay.)
