Sadly, I will not be able to attend this morning's election of the Lord Mayor at Common Hall at Guildhall in the City of London. With such short notice of Alderman Tim Hailes' decision to stand-down, this will be a very 'interesting' meeting of voters. I wish Tim Hailes well.

Good morning, Mark @markannand.eurosky.social & thank you. Yes, it is remarkable to think that there's a river running under one's feet in that area. Not far from where Harold Steggles took his view of "Warner Street" in 1935, one can hear the River Fleet running underground through a drain grid.

I have a very good friend from Solihull; was at S School and ChCh Oxford. He hasn't a jot of Brum accent. He mustn't have not known any of the War Memorial kids. Regions, Culture and Accents, eh ?

Andrew Bailey quoted in the Times saying UK must "double down" on expertise fighting economic crime. His comments come as a review into policing reforms is ongoing, with concerns City of London Police could be absorbed into the Met. www.thetimes.com/business/eco...

On day two of our watercolour themed week, here's another great favourite of mine which was painted whilst the artist concerned was still only 15 years old! This is "The Mill, Whitstable" by Walter Steggles from July 15th 1924. It is roughly only 6ins x 4ins. #WalterSteggles #EastLondonGroup

Discovered (by me, at least) on a sunny cycle in Brittany last month, the Manor of Touche Carné was constructed in the 15th century and has recently been restored. #MedievalMonday

A stone manor house with a slate roof and and polygonal stair tower at one end. Trees behind, and a cloudy sky.

"The School Board of London". The infamous 'School Board man' known to my parents (East Enders), had been superseded in 1904 !! Such were the legendary truancy officials.

But when shopping, I encourage you to consider the total package. Sometimes you're not just buying a product, but also good service, a fun day, and a memory. After all, it's through shopping at these places that they will continue to exist. Video: Creutz in Nice, France (IG thenorejectionguy)

Hatch End station originally opened in 1840 on the London & Birmingham Railway. It was rebuilt in 1911, and poet John Betjemen described it as "half-way between a bank and a medium-sized country house".
