Check out the web site for the 'Cosmati pavement' laid down in 1268, see how many quilt blocks you can name. There really is nothing new under the sun.

Did you notice that you labelled Westminster Abbey, Winchester Abbey? Is that one near your home? Have a great time in Birmingham this weekend. Love your blog.

There are only certain places where street performers can perform in central London, and they need a permit, or else crowds build up and the flow of pedestrians is compromised. It does seem a shame, but it is for safety reasons. You can often hear very good musicians on the underground or on the bridges. I love them.joanoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428621316534143954noreply@blogger.com
