London Jubilee Weekend

 Trafalgar Square always seems to me
to illustrate London so well
..it appears to say it all..maybe because
my parents brought me here, as a child, to see London on our way
to Hastings.... where we used to spend some holidays..
Now the City buzzes with Celebrations....even those
who, sometimes, do not consider themselves
to be monarchists are planning to enjoy
the family feeling as many English people take
to the streets..
I have many invitations, from The Royal Academy to a special
Exhibition and lunch, to The Royal Commonwealth Society,
and to The Civil Service Club
all will welcome many visitors as
we do celebrate the years of comparate peace..
best wishes to you and I hope that the next
60 years for us all are
Happy and Prosperous

Rockefeller Centre with a friend

One of my visits to New York
introduced me to this lady and partner
they found me drawing the Rockefeller Centre
for one of my books..love this walkway to the tower
in the winter the carols resound through the
centre#and in the summer as here...
the flowers brighten a sunny day
