Shameless plug on the tube

Not afraid! It's interesting when an armed policeman gets on the tube carriage. Not good, but that's life in the city at the moment.

In Dublin, when you walk in the centre of town, everyone gives you a jolly good look. That's because they're trying to figure out if they know you. In London, the normal way to walk on the street is looking at the ground, because all the loose paving stones can trip you up! However, these days everyone's head is up and we're all looking at each other's faces. I've had so many half smiles these last few days. Everyone's looking and that's good, isn't it?
