Headed East ('cuz I'm Not a Young Man Anymore)

[Sundae]

@Spode I almost feel as if you were describing London at some points. I'm sure the construction work would have been true this year (Olympics) too.

The transport card device is the same here too, and in many European cities. I budgeted to buy one in Amsterdam, but on my first morning I realised how much closer together things were than I had expected... so I spent the money elsewhere

Gorgeous writing, a feast for the brain, thank you very much. I had almost forgotten why I missed you so much.
Can't wait to see photos.
And yes, it's an ambition of mine to see the War Memorial (featured in so many American novels I have read) and the Jefferson Memorial - I'm a big fan of your third President.

I'd also love to show you (and many other Merkin Dwellars) around London.
Lucky Glatt that he got to meet you on his manor.
