The Diary of Nathaniel Bryceson (Part 7)

Yes, Steven, you are very lucky to have that.  It really does help you see history in another way doesn't it?

Yet another half hour slides by while I read up on Wellington, the Arch, the statue etc etc!

I did exactly the same thing early this morning Daisy Loo

Hi Steven .... I think it's fab too!!!

[Steven Bryceson]

Dear all,

On Tuesday I a nd some others will be meeting at Green Park Tube Station ticket barriers at 10am and will be do the following NB Memorial Walk. If you are a brisk walker, feel free to join us!

Peace,

Steven.

The route description is Green Park Station Mayfair Grosvenor Square Marylebone (coffee break) Regents Park, Primrose Hill, Parliament Hill (if we can find it), Hampshire Heath, The Spaniards Inn for lunch, Golders Green, bus to Freyents Country Park, Northwick Park, Harrow School grounds , Harrow on the Hill  & St Marys. 
It will be about 13 miles and we should be at st Marys by 16.00ish.

C'mon Carole - you're one of the closest distance wise.

Please let us know how you get on Steven. I will be interested to know if there are any NB fans (rather than just 'walking' fanatics  ) who join you.

I wanna be there

ooo I hope Mongibello sees this ...

[Ruskie]

I wanna be there 

I would love to too.
BUT. Steven is looking for "brisk walkers" and I'd like to dawdle and look around.  I'd probabaly be back at 4 the next day. 

Some may have work commitments or not be up to walking quickly.

Yes apart from Carole, Mongibello, Steve and Steven are there any Greater London NB followers?

Hi Ruskie

I would love a brisk walk but would want to stop at all the pubs on the way LOL!!!

BTW .... Does anyone know anyone that goes to the National Archives ....

Deb ...who doesn't have a pub or old building anywhere near her!!!!

[Ruskie]

I know how you feel Deb. 

But if you go on Steven's walk you can have a half at the Spaniards Inn. Probably won't have enough time for a pint. Mind you, too many pub stops and you'd also need to be visiting all the public toilets along the way. 

Yeah there's a bit of an 'old building' black hole where I live too Deb. One of the oldest buildings in my area is my house, and that is only about 100 years old.  You really miss them don't you? (Old buildings are one of my favourite things.)

[Ruskie]

Some more details about the statue in today's entry. I'm glad Nathaniel managed to see as much as he did. It must have been a huge event for the times.

Such a shame about so many missing words in the final paragraph. Nathaniel mentions reading about this building in the newspaper. (Before TV  ) I suppose the demolition or construction of a building would be something really spectacular for people to watch. A great public event.
