First impressions: a city more of brick buildings than of high ones with terraces and shuttered windows. Paris is multicultural too, but more in the Belleville district than in the Lfet Bank, Isle de la Citie, etc. In London, every neighbourhood we have passed through so far appears to be multicultural. Life is quite tough here, our Air B&B host was telling us about problems renters have, proposed cuts to health care and social services, etc.
Tonight we heard George Monbiot speak. He is one of our favourite environmental writers, and presented a very interesting presentation on re-wilding. This is a call for allowing nature to take its course in wile ecosystems, rather than trying to manage their operations. The issues are quite complex, to find out more about him see www.georgemonbiot.com.I believe that is the website,
let me know if it doesn't work.
Just a note to say we are still alive and quite well... expect more.
