“When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.”
Although Dr. Samuel Johnson wrote this in 1777, it is evidently still true. My link to London is special – as it still is with many South Africans with English and Scots ancestry. As children we were always conscious of the Royal Family – and the lovely things that came from England. Is it surprising that I went to the Queen’s Silver, Golden and Diamond Jubilees and to the wedding of Diana and Charles – and any other good excuse demanding a visit? And the English ‘do celebrations’ like no one else! Think of the Olympics 2012!
My first visit at age 12 with my parents and sister, Jill was everything – wonder, excitement, a sense of history and the green (vegetation that is)! I saw my first Shakespeare ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ done in traditional style at the Aldwych and was an immediate devotee – a love that remains! Jill and I were thrilled to go – on our own – to ‘HAIR’, there was Trooping the Colour, boating up the River Thames, the shops, galleries, theater (among them Sadler’s Wells where my mother performed as a dancer), pubs, on and on – just magnificent exposure that intensified my love for London. And the feast of photo possibilities does not hurt!
