It hasn't been my experience that the British are still sore about losing the American colonies, except perhaps for some particularly myopic sorts. We still provide them a large target for condescending remarks, just as back in the day.

Indeed. Brexit and Mr Johnson tend to pale some in comparison, but are not to be discounted as competitors.  :snicker1:

Lunch - lobster soup and fish & chips.





I don't like the look of the fish and chips, they look overcooked.



You can't leave at that, it's too negative, you have to end with something nice.

I don't have any nice presently, can you do it?

I like the colours of the Mushroom risotto.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

Hello Ecurb,

It looks like you are really enjoying yourself so far...I'm enjoying the pictures quite a bit, and my mouth was watering over the Mushroom Risotto,...as Bad Penny said the colours are nice.
Lobster soup looked quite yummy as well.

I also swore I could smell the lamb when I was looking at the picture. I don't eat meat that often, but occasionally the wife will slow cook some lamb, and the smell of it cooking is always so tempting to me that I can't help myself and have to have some.

Love the picture of the London Wall...can you actually get close to the wall? (I would be sorely tempted if possible to grab a small souvenir if I was there)

Anyway, I hope you continue to enjoy your trip, and stay out of trouble...I don't know that Tank would bail you out if needed. 8)

Another 10+ miles today on foot.  Started of going to Notting Hill, passing Hyde Park on the way.  Here is the Marble Arch at Speaker's Corner, and Portobello Road in Notting Hill.

Quiz: What happened on top of this building on January 30, 1969?

Bruno, here is another wall photo, showing more clearly the line between Roman and medieval.  Yes, you can get close enough to touch it in some places, but I did not pilfer anything.
