Because We Can

It's not every day that you get to go see a castle of a King made famous by the song by Herman's Hermits. Confused Bob. London is a city under construction. The tide is out on the Thames. Your gases to what it means is as good as mine. Just a block from the entrance to Hampton Court, Castle are the homes of two famous persons.

Back in the day this was the rough-and-tumble area of London and this police call post is a remnant of those days. So why am I posting a photo of a police station? Well it was on the same site that the first put the station ever in the world was built. I had the slip those chimney pot photos in somewhere, so this look like the place. The contrail in the first photo is an added bonus. Boastful Bob. Tony giving us run down of so...
