Lesley Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 That's in London though! Yes I think its near the London Eye It's quite a way from the London Eye Tamsin - quite a good walk If you get on a boat at Westminster and go up to the Tower, you get a good view of the Globe though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 If you go to London Bridge station you can walk through Borough Market (where Jamie Oliver shops), past Southwark Cathedral and then along the south river bank. There are lots of lovely eateries and pubs along there. You can't miss the Globe and it takes about 10 mins to walk from LB station. If you keep walking you will come to the Tate Modern and the Millennium Bridge (15-20 mins walk from LB). If you walk across the Millennium Bridge, you will come straight to St Paul's Cathedral. It's a nice trip! The London Eye and Aquarium are near Westminster Bridge and Big Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Chaucer? We studied Chaucer - at first it was really difficult but once you got the hang of it it was brilliant - Wife of Bath was my favourite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I'd love to come back and visit you. I'd let you settle in to the farm first, of course.

Cinnamon Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 (edited) 4th time! I'm sure there must be other things to read! I read on average a book a week ,& on holiday about 3 a week (imagine the size of my suitcase) The Da Vinci code is one of the very rare ones that I finished & re-read again as I thought I may have missed something (which I had!) There are heaps I have re-read muliple times....Memoirs of a Geisha,The Red Tent, all the Harry Potters, The His Dark Materials Trilogy, The Life Of Pi,Hitchikers Guide etc,etc............I could go on & on about these books (& frequently do) My daughter read it when she was 12,& understood & enjoyed it Edited April 22, 2006 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 I've got a copy of Labryinth but haven't had chance to read it yet. It is supposed to be much better than The Da Vinci Code!---Martin--- Martin,I thought Labryrinth was pants & sold it on Green Metropolis ....I didn't even finish it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I think the Da Vinic Code raises some really important questions in our history, that many people take for granted because of their parents beliefs and consequently don't question things enough. I'd like to read it again, as it was so jam packed, I'm bound to have missed some action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellcat Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Chaucer is Middle English - later than Old English, Helen I love Chaucer as well. Our Cockerel is called Chauntecleer Carl reads Old English for the love of it You'll have to come back to see us Martin - Carl's your man for Literature You see, I KNEW someone would be along to pick up the discrepancies I loved Chaucer, so much fun to translate it in to rhyming modern. Would love to be able to read Beowulf from original but I'm not enough of a scholar, so I'll have sto stick to a translation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellcat Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 There are heaps I have re-read muliple times.... Me too. I've read Lord of the Rings more times than I can remember, likewise most F Scott Fitzgerald, especially Gatsby. I like Fantasy, so Terry Goodkind, Robert Jordan and David Eddings all get read, and read, and read... i have a great book exchange I use in Gosport (COAM, do you know it?). Take your unwanted paperbacks in, she gives you a credit note for a certain value and choose another. Second hand ones are cheaper, but i like to get the odd new one too. I have just finished 'I want to Live' the story of Sabine Dardenne, who was abducted and held by a paedophile for 80 days in Belgium. Heartrending stuff, but written by her with dignity and care. I really admire her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 The book exchange sounds great I use Green Metropolis,which I really like & also Bookcrossing where you realease abook for someone else to pick up. Fun,but a bit unreliable ! I really must re-read LOTR,I read it years ago but would like to read it again now that the movies are not quite so fresh in my mind I need to read some Chaucer too by the sounds of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
