“Tomorrow morning before we depart, I intend to land and see what can be found in the neighbourhood.”
– Christopher Columbus
Morning on the Thames, London, October 2020
It’s time for a weekly quotation-inspired image.

Difficult to rival with London as the subject …
When I step out of doors I usually find half timbered houses (and newer ones, of course), vinyards and forests and … well, this as well:

It was sounding good until the “this a well”. But it’s not so different for me. I’ve got lots of new houses, a busy road and then the M25 motorway. Or walk 45 mins into St Albans itself. And then 20 min train into London. I’ve Beene into London a lot recently, while I can. But as lockdown tightens again I won’t be doing so much of that 😐

Thank you for the quote from Christopher Columbus. It helps me feel a bit better about him, while there is a lot of hatred for him going in in the states presently.
I wish people could find the good in people. ❤️🦋🌀🙏☮️

As a non-morning person I’ve always liked this quote:
“I’m a New Yorker, and 7.00 a.m. is a civilised hour to end the day, not to start it”.

I’ve been in London for work this week, and this was an early morning escape from PC, wifi and meetings 🙂 Back at my home desk now, though

It’s good to be in a different place to stimulate the mind. Hope you have a comfortable desk and work space with a nice view 🙂

If it’s good enough for Columbus… 🙂 🙂 No shortage of good material on the Thames, as you keep proving, Debs.

I was pleased to find I had been following in the steps of Columbus! And there was a surprise burst of sun yesterday morning which meant breakfast outdoors next to a boat stop and a quick wander along the boardwalk, before the rain returned.
