I'm glad you managed to stay safe in the house given it was prone to being flammable! I wouldn't have expected spotlights to be in that style of house to be fair.

I remember men in suits, stripped to the waist wearing handkerchiefs (knotted at the corners) on their heads and spread out on the grass in London parks. They had No Shame!<br />PS Ai Weiwei is such a brave man! One of the heroes of our time.

So charming - the archetypal English village. <br />As for the deck chairs you've just reignited my post traumatic stress disorder of the sight of pasty English people stripping off in the parks to sun themselves whenever the temps rose above 18C. Shudder.

I do know the hotel so should have figured it out. Rest assured, I shall enjoy a drink there when next in London as I have so many fond memories of the square from my youth, feeding the pigeons as a child, and many New Year's Eves spent in celebration with the rest of London (I don't think I can do that again in a hurry - with age comes wisdom I guess).Chronica Domushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732224119040843337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042823968101983560.post-50629275669195105602015-09-23T10:50:29.055+01:002015-09-23T10:50:29.055+01:00But what you don't see is me being a couch pot...But what you don't see is me being a couch potato!! Ai Weiwei is a figure for history in China and it is so interesting to see how they view him so dangerously because of his art too.

Honestly I walked out of there depressed!<br /><br />I adore Douglas and his work and such a pity not all of it can be seen but I did think I must put my camera down a lot more. Thanks for the link too.<br /><br />next time you are in town - try the Trafalgar hotel and go to their rooftop but go early because on a nice day it gets full. We went at noon on the dot and there were already people there!<br /><br />Coulda shoulda wouldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507021618497645667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042823968101983560.post-63472146667396210592015-09-23T10:39:35.197+01:002015-09-23T10:39:35.197+01:00Your Bella is a beauty!!

Have you read Barnaby Martin's "Hanging Man - The Arrest of Ai Weiwei"? He's a remarkable man - and also an architect of course.<br />The plastic island is shockingly bad. So much to concern us environmentally. Well done the crew of the Tara.<br />Wish you a happy break from blogging - but will miss your posts. I like that we can never predict what you might write about.

I would have loved to go to the horse trials with you and trot about the country folk and accompanying dawgs. The house you stayed it looks divine - the perfect spot for rest and relaxation during your trip.<br /><br />The schooner talk does sound depressing, sigh, and yes, I know all about the plastic floating island sadly. So much destruction from plastics - I loathe the stuff!<br /><br />I found Mr. Mackie's obervations on drawing quite wonderful. Too few architects and designers draw anymore sadly (could this be because everything is computer generated nowadays?). Have you seen the mind-blowing video of the Three Classicists, found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66_8H6tWUtQ. If you have six minutes to spare, do yourself a favor and watch it.<br /><br />Finally, where did you sit for your drink over Trafalgar Square? Adored the view.<br /><br />Enjoy your trip.Chronica Domushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732224119040843337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042823968101983560.post-79854704895561447692015-09-22T22:13:41.146+01:002015-09-22T22:13:41.146+01:00There was much to love about this post, especially...There was much to love about this post, especially the dogs.
