Incidentally, I think I've been remiss in letting all my Pictures Just Pictures followers know I now post at Message in a Milk Bottle I've had a break over the summer and am back.
The las sentance made me smile, furtile for Farming, afraid London made that dissapear long ago.

The banks of the Thames there must be awash with ancient remains, large and small.
