Upsides of being dragged into central for an age medical , what a lovely view on a beautiful day
Spent a couple of hours on HMS Belfast a few years back. We got up to the radio room, and I was pointing out various bits of kit to Mrs H. As I turned to leave an old guy in the radio room spoke to Mrs H. She told him I used to be an RO and could use the morse key - āthanks loveā I thought. The old guy pushed the key over said, ācāmon then.ā
A quick what shall I send and I startedā¦. ā yep, a touch slow and a little raggy but you know what youāre doing.ā I replied, āitās almost 40 years since Iāve sent. Iāll take that.ā Must admit, I enjoyed it and was well chuffed he picked it up.

I'm not saying that isn't a fantastic view, it most certainly is - and a world famous one.
But I really like this one too

Makes it look like a single, very elaborate bridge.

Lovely view. I don't appreciate just how close London bridge (where I took the photo) is. 45 mins on the district line and a short walk across to the work drs
Nice little day out
What a moment though , beautiful

I am a Londoner so know my way around pretty well but if you don't come up regularly it is sometimes a shock at how close things are to each other and how quickly you can actually get from A to B. I

Watching the golf triggers nice (though perhaps a litter bitter sweet) memories for me as I took my mum for a day trip to Troon the last time we spent together outside of hospital and her passing. We had lunch in the Piersland Hotel (her recommendation from a previous visit with my sister - now also no longer with us). It was lovely.
And after lunch we wandered across the road to Royal Troon. As I had a look at the 18th green and wondered, mum took shelter from the wind standing at the entrance under the canopy, a member asked if she wanted to sit down inside, which she did, until I was done. Then we headed home.
Bless you mum and sis for the memories.

"The Famous Five Bridges" is what they used to be known as, but there's a couple more now, the metro-line bridge and the pedestrian bridge where that shot was possibly taken from.

Amateur, you need to get the Millennium Bridge in as well
But I have yet to see the Millennium Bridge in the flesh, as it were. High time I did.
Crossed at Blaydon and back through the tunnel on my last trip to Northumberland in 2019.
Or from the other angle

Found this when I stopped using the tube "map" and used reality.

saw the Lightning Seeds and Madness at Englefield House, a Downton Abbey esq country estate yesterday. Fabulous time with 10 others and a great spot with table and big umbrella! There was one song that was not sung!
