I’ve seen the Starlight again 40 years on

Standard

Then and now

1986 and 40 years later 2026

1986 I loved it so, I bought the T-shirt

Only you
Have the power to move me....
The light is shining through
You gave me life not just existence.

I am the Starlight.
I have the power within me
I can achieve
Just believe in anything.

I am the Starlight,
Use the power within me
I can see it through.


Excerpts from lyrics of 'Only you' and 'I am the Starlight'
Andrew Lloys Webber/ Richard Stilgoe

It was not allowed to take pictures during the performance.

Beautiful High Garden

Standard

A little secret tip,

to find a nice rooftop garden in London is at

120 Fenchurch Street.

The Garden is located atop the Fen Court building.

At 15 storeys up it offers exceptional 360-degree views

and it is free to go up.

When you come up the view is fantastic.

You can walk around for an allround view.

Bring a picnic, it has plenty of benches for your lunch.

Beautiful Wisterias hanging and many more different flowers.

Plants and high buildings are good motives.

I love the reflection of the clouds and buildings.

Bees are counted and marked.

Can you see the white dot?

I’ll leave you with

roses, pollinators and sunshine.

"In the heart of the city, 
my terrace garden is a patch of serenity,
a reminder
that even small spaces can hold vast beauty"

The Outernet

Standard

Yesterday I visitied Tottenham Court Road,

I used to live very close to it back in the 80’s.

With Tottenham Court Road being a major Underground station

also for the Crossrail , known as Elizabeth Line, it is a new huge station.

When you come out of the deep station

you walk straight into the Outernet.

The Outernet is the most visited cultural attraction in the UK,

an immersive entertainment district bringing together

breath-taking arts,

culture and music experiences for all the family.

All four walls and the ceiling are just huge screens and

you are right in the middle.

It keeps changing often, every 5 to 10 minutes.

I walked in for the ‘Enchanted Forest’

With a QR code you can be part of the screen

and play or just move on your phone.

The follow up was the well known Tetris game.

It is quite anamazing experience and it is free too.

don’t forget to see it when you visit London.

♥ Laughter ♥

Standard

Laughter or a smile often helps to diffuse situations,

to change people’s attitude.


Laughter is one
of the greatest
and most powerful forms
of courage available
to you...
Laughing
at difficult circumstances
allows you to face
the situation,
see it as a molehill

instead of a mountain
and
step away.
Laughter expands your attitude
and your perception
as well as your ability
to grow and experience
new things.


Give yourself
the incredible
Gift of Laughter
today .

The garden in July 2024 🙂

and then now in 2025.


A garden is
"the purest of human pleasures."
Francis Bacon

Here some answers… below

the banana plant,

my little cottage garden by the steps,

another grass by the pond,

so many more Crocosmia flowers,

oh yeah and the Meercat broke sadly – broken by a fox 😦 .
