Rising like a Phoenix from the ashes.
At this time of year, my back garden so often looks like it has taken a real battering from months of incessant rain, sometimes snow and many weeks of seemingly constant gales or worse. Sometimes a tree will blow over or even snap meaning our beloved garden has a gaping hole in it. Of… Continue reading Rising like a Phoenix from the ashes.
Whitechapel Street Art
I’ve written before about my Jack The Ripper Tours in Whitechapel, London and even posted a few photos too. Today I arrived there with an hour to spare so decided to have a little look around as I often do in this area. Whitechapel is of course famous for its poverty and crime problems.
