London Walks

Yesterday i went on a Sherlock Holmes walking tour. Given my knowledge of the whole deal is defined by a very very general picture of the famous character. Basically you could say all i knew of Sherlock Holmes was that he was a London detective with a mate called Watson and who looked exactly like all the souviners. Well aparently thats a very wrong picture. I found the whole walk intriguing, though couldn't help but look at the floor or somewhere else when the guide would ask if i'd read a particular book or seen a particular movie...which obvioulsy i hadn't. any way i can confidently say i know 100% more about sherlock holmes then i did when i started...in fact i even know now that the author was Conan Doyle.

Today i did a DaVinci code walk...at least i had read the book...it was a good walk cause the guide really made it feel like a fictional story, by dispeling myths and the like...did get to go to the temple church tho and had movie scenes pointed out which i found the most interesting

Mel and i have just recieved word that we have got a place in Clapham North, sharing with an Aussie bloke, a British bloke and an Irish gal...it's a lovely victorian terrace!
i'll keep you all updated with that one...best be off now...mel and i are off to celebrate our new housing situation!
