Darrell ……. Out And About On The South Bank

Darrell didn’t really have that long in London, but still managed to have a bit of a look round the South Bank, somewhere he hadn’t really delved much before ……

…… everything he saw seemed to have an artistic bent ….

……. even what he thought were telephone wiring boxes (?)

And there were statues to find out more about once he’d got home, this one round the corner from The Tate Modern ………

……… which is/was supposed to move ……..  http://walktofreeartlondon.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/monument-to-unknown-artist-by-greyworld.

Darrell very much appreciated the fact that people who live in posh flats in London have mahoooooooosive windows and no net curtains …… so he could have a good look at  admire their décor, his only regret was that he hadn’t got his binoculars on him, but noted this for his next visit.  What is he like?

There were plenty of flats for sale, Darrell reckoned that they were probably even more bijoux than the Towers, but cost goodness knows how many more millions ….. but in common, they both share spectacular views of rivers, The Thames and for us The Avon!

Talking of the Thames……. Darrell did notice that it had a bit of a beach and the tide was out, ……..

…… it did cross his mind to go down and see if he could find himself a holey stone …….

……. but time was against him and as a stranger to The Thames he wasn’t sure if it was prone to quicksand, and thought he’d best ask Hugh (who is currently having his eyelashes tinted in Marbella) before he ventured near.

And a final observation ……. on The South Bank they appear to bag up their leaves for collection, in Evesham we have a man with a blower, who just seems to have fun blowing said leaves every which way!!!
