Hello everyone.
Here\'s my second virtual postcard from England.
Many thanx to the \'Fab Four\' who responded to the first one.
@Christoph Maus > hope you\'ll tell us a lot more about your holidays soon
This is what happens right now.
@marc zappa jr. > London is einfach nur geil!
Having spent three of six days there, I do have to agree with you.
@Xafford > a cottage in sussex... I\'d really adore to walk in your shoes ... greetings to its royal higness queen elisabeth!
Queen Elizabeth asked me to send her kindest regards right back to you.
Walking in my shoes? Don\'t wish to do so, I\'ve caught a nasty blister under my right foot.
But you are right, the cottage is beautiful, standing all alone in an idyllic landscape.
and the weather\'s fine by the way. Forget all you\'ve heard about foggy London and all the rain in England: What ist happening here is what I call summer.
@Turbi > The Westend, very impressive etc and then there\'s the East End, you should go to Marylebone, Mayfair and Westminster and straight afterwards to Brixton, Streatham etc...the differences are apalling
What you describe is exactly what I\'ve seen. But there are even more contrasts inside the districts:
When you\'re walking through an area which seems quite poor and shabby you will always find
idyllic places like an old gothic church, a nice pub and a green park somewhere.
On the other hand, not all that glitters is gold in the districts where rich people live...
It\'s fascinating to look at all those typically British houses built in traditional victorian style:
Every brick seems to tell a story... not to forget the exciting colours of the wooden entrance doors.
Do you remember?
