Lovely writing ... I love the 'insiders' local perspective flavoured with the wider knowledge of a man steeped in curiosity; thanks so much for sharing. You sound in good form, relishing your return home. I must peek into Substack more often ... I find myself missing things or constantly reading to catch up. Warmly, Barrie
Another interesting missive Harry. It dredges up memories of my A Level History in which Earl Grey played a big part.
Each morning I salute him with a mug of tea that may or may not have been created by him. I’m going on an inspiration jaunt’ to London today. If I pass Jackson’s of Piccadilly I’ll pop in and buy some anuthentic Earl Grey.
Good piece of history, giving name to a street and a tea

Was up at the Monument only today! As with so many cities, it pays to look up.
With the reflection it looks taller than the Eiffel Tower if it was placed atop the Statue of Liberty atop the Pyramid of Cheops / Khufu. Amazing !
