My pictorial series of blog posts on my new London Canal Private Walking Tour continues eastwards along Regents Canal. Part one was about Canals in general and then we started off in the Paddington Basin and then on Monday were at Little Venice.

Walking Londons canals… Little Venice
If you haven’t read my recent posts on canals in general and the Paddington Basin in particular then do feel free to go back and take a peek before coming back here. It’s amazing how much the scenery changes once you pass under the A40 flyover, the 21st century is left behind as you emerge… Continue reading Walking Londons canals… Little Venice
Walking Londons Canals…. the Paddington Basin
Having created a new London Canals Walking Tour with Ye Olde England Tours I thought it was a good excuse to make good use of some of the many photos I took whilst working out my new tour.

The age of the Canal
During February I have spent some time exploring some of Londons canals and I thought I would do a short series of posts about canals.

In 2016 when the family home was… Continue reading There’s something about Nina the Lovebird
10 signs that you’re intelligent
A little while ago I was doing some research and by way of several non-connected links I ended up several websites away from where I intended to be and reading about intelligence. Dr Awdhesh Singh is an author of books on spiritual intelligence and leadership and he gave a most satisfactory insight as to what… Continue reading 10 signs that you’re intelligent
