Thanks for looking and commenting Frank. I'm amazed you don't recognise
General Wolfe of Quebec, getting a taste of Canadian weather! He went to
school here in Greenwich, and is buried in St. Alfege's Church, which is the
main church in town (designed by Hawksmoor, carvings by another local boy
made good, Grinling Gibbons). He stands there now, next to the Old Royal
Observatory, with the finest view in all England.

Thanks - that's the view from the base of Wolfe's statue. On a clear day you
have the whole of London spread out below.

A lot of people here ski regularly, which is why they have all the kit. A
lot of people seem to have taken the day off just to show off their fancy
ski gear. Even I broke out the skiing gloves! Left the goggles at home
though.

We need to fit those to the electric carts that little old ladies drive
around the pavements on!
