    Pudding Lane - the name alone evokes thoughts of warmth and family and home. That such a catastrophe could have begun here is almost too much to bear. Margaret, I've joked with you in some of your previous tours about "medieval fire extinguishers" but this is much too sad for my glib humour. As always you've brought the past to life with clarity and heart. As we in Canada are going through a terrible period of the worst forest fires in our history it gives us pause to understand the fear and confusion that such conflagration can bring to the past and the present. In Vancouver we can smell the smoke and the skies are clouded changing the sun from yellow to orange. And we are in a safe area. The miracle is how London was able to recover and thrive. The shock was the aid from France, a traditional nemesis in the middle ages. I've always thought someone could write an historical comedy about Calais ("what day is it? Are we British or French today"). And to end your research with all the plaques and memorials was brilliant. Thank you for this most wonderful of tours. I suddenly feel like pudding pie. 😊🎉❤

      @margaretstockton-davies3828 11 месяцев назад +1

      I have seen the devastation of the fires in Canada on the news. It's absolutely awful. :( I am glad you are keeping safe, despite what sounds like apocalyptic conditions. Seems like France likes to keep us on our toes, right? And I am definitely snatching your idea for the Calais comedy (with due credit given, of course, whenever it becomes an international success)..! Enjoy the pudding pie!
