“The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves—in their separate, and individual capacities.”

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious.

Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal. https://t.co/72wxaVLzVT

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like. https://t.co/uts7JpJZzN

Two towers, one old and one new. The 16th century St Andrew Undershaft church and the looming edifice of 30 St Mary Axe, aka the Gherkin, in the background.

The London street where time has stood still: Roupell Street just minutes from Waterloo Station. It was laid out in the 1820s by John Roupell as workers cottages and, visually, has barely changed since.

Over 300 years old, 17 Gough Square was originally built for a merchant, but from 1748-1759 it was lived in by Dr Samuel Johnson, giant of English literary history. It was here that he compiled the work for which he is best known, his ‘Dictionary of the English Language’.

The wonderfully traditional frontage of London’s oldest umbrella shop: James Smith and Sons on New Oxford Street, established in 1830.

There is something about a good corner pub. The wonderfully eccentric Blackfriar pub here, built in 1875. Decorations on the building nod to the history of the area as having once been occupied by the Blackfriars monastery until the 1530s.

Londoners looking at us from the other side of the lens. A captivating glimpse from 1931.

@PamelaLHamilton look what I found!

[Chuckie O @charlesdiago]

@PamelaLHamilton Hiiii, Happy Friday! I picked up the #GardnerHale oil painting today. There is definitely a difference! The watercolor is still with the framer. She is an artist, so I do not rush her! Once I pick that up, will send photos and then this one will get a frame. Have a great weekend!

Highgate Cemetery is, I think, one of the most atmospheric spots in London 👇
