Today I was reading the journal my wife wrote 35 years ago on this date. I saw many pictures taken of her outside The Old Curiosity Shop, Lincoln's Fields, High Holburn, etc. I have these wonderful memories still, but she is now in Heaven. We loved London, and I do to this day. Now if I could only find someone to fund me I would take another look!

I lived in the area for almost 10 years and really appreciated all the tidbits of information (I thought I knew most of the stories about the area, but you focused mainly on things I didn't know - really brilliant! Apparently, the upstairs Drawing room at the Soane, where the gift shop is, is painted Turner Yellow - the patented favourite colour of his good friend JMW. A real pity they didn't let you film there! Also, really sad about the Irish giant!!) Would love to see more videos in the area too - the whole neighbourhood and surroundings neighbourhoods are so rich with stories and history. By the way, I've seen almost all of your films - the first one I saw was your Pitcairn film a long while back - I really loved that one - you're great storyteller and a real adventurer!!! and I've really loved all the rest too! Keep up the great work. I'm a massive fan!

Hi Joolz, not sure if it is still there but in the sir john soane museum when you enter there is a mark on the right wall with a plastic cover over it, and this was a Ricochet from a gun when someone tried to break in and rib the place, years ago, that is why they always had a security guard sitting just inside to protect the family living in there.
