This was
my orientation to London. I loved the pigeons; yes I do mean
the birds. Aunty Sharon was less than impressed when I preferred
these diseased birds to her chickens. It was quite special feeding
them out of my hand.
Nelson's
column is huge.
It celebrates
one of England's greatest Naval officers.
It is flanked
by four majestic lions.
This photo
shows the world's smallest police station.
It's over
near the tree.
The police
use it to maintain a low profile during protests. An officer
can observe through the slits and call back up if needed.
A very cunning
idea.
An artist that
the queen favoured modelled these lions. He was not a sculptor
and was not overly happy to take on the job. But you don't say
no to the queen.
He waited
for a lion in the London Zoo to die and then kept in in his
lounge to complete the project. He got to the paws and decided
to finish the rest using his cat as the model. As you might
imagine the lion was beginning to stink.
Here's where
he made a vital error. He assumed incorrectly that the cat's
paws were identical to that of a lion. A lion has four toes
unlike his smaller cousin who only has three.
