While I took the low road, he was on the high one, but neither of us got to Glasgow before ye. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps there's a time and place - for people with this man's talents. I certainly believe it.<BR/><BR/>Your son is an individual with creativity beyond most men's dreams. We now miss him dreadfully. That's a credit to his Mum.M.Benauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14644501811292368771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633953637253928587.post-66427042067368770372008-10-06T22:56:00.000+10:302008-10-06T22:56:00.000+10:30Thank you for the update, am loving seeing your jo...Thank you for the update, am loving seeing your journey glad you saw the nice side of young Dive!!!!and yes I will go on the eye one day I hope.....him and Full are determined I should..<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to the next leg of your trip...Alifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01680151878441268622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633953637253928587.post-69244932797905007382008-10-06T22:34:00.000+10:302008-10-06T22:34:00.000+10:30Lynn, you're just a little devil, - you are !!!Lynn, you're just a little devil, - you are !!!M.Benauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14644501811292368771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633953637253928587.post-58163441653832140472008-10-06T21:04:00.000+10:302008-10-06T21:04:00.000+10:30"When!" :)"When!" :)Cheltenhamdailyphotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00518073757785956012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633953637253928587.post-56848760253167512872008-10-06T17:12:00.000+10:302008-10-06T17:12:00.000+10:30Thanks everyone, Dive, as I said, we loved every m...Thanks everyone, <BR/><BR/>Dive, as I said, we loved every minute.

They're all great shots!<BR/><BR/>Oh how I love London. I, too, did a huge circuit on foot during my first trip there. I returned in a couple of weeks and spent ten foot-pounding days, loving every minute of it. A city of delights. And this was 1999, before the Eye.

It was comfortable and travelled at a speed which was very gentle. Most of the view can be seen from the seat too which means that if you suffer from vertigo you don't need to go close to the glass as the seat is in the middle. However, I would recommend making the effort, for a tiny peek! What an amazing place London is but aloft, one can't hear the traffic!MmeBenauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14365277537757094040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633953637253928587.post-44028761536559214842008-10-06T00:49:00.000+10:302008-10-06T00:49:00.000+10:30Thank YOU both for a wonderful and thoroughly fun ...Thank YOU both for a wonderful and thoroughly fun day!<BR/>I enjoyed every single minute of our time together and only wish it could have been longer.<BR/>The Eye is quite spectacular once you're inside it. And at least it has somewhere to sit, so Mme could rest after I'd dragged you both miles and miles around the city.<BR/><BR/>Now I can't wait to see what happened the next day when you crossed the channel to la belle France!divehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938980502783421961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633953637253928587.post-34164839196459776132008-10-05T23:39:00.000+10:302008-10-05T23:39:00.000+10:30Howdy Thibault, It's wonderful to hear your happy ...Howdy Thibault, <BR/><BR/>It's wonderful to hear your happy voice so far from Paris.<BR/><BR/>We had an amazing tour of France and that other small country across La Manche.<BR/><BR/>If you are to read my European tour it will take longer than the tour itself but I hope you will enjoy it.
