Reasons to love London....

Number 47

I met Lovely for lunch today in the Crypt at St. Martin's in the field (in Trafalgar square) following my university lecture (for social work). Afterwards we went upstairs to admire the church, it is truly stunning. And in there an orchestra was rehearsing. Now this was probably a world class orchestra, warming up for that evenings performance. So sitting in the pews listening were many, very dignified, people getting a free intermittent concert. In the back rows and all around the outside walls were homeless people, asleep in the warmth. All in this spectacular church. How this combination of people and experiences can all combine so harmoniously and easily is something that i find London does so well. I will miss it when we leave.
