Arising from the ashes.

 

London was very damaged during WW2…even when I moved there in the mid 1980s the was signs that London was still recovering….plots of land that were old bomb sites….swiftly put up council housing on land that a few years early would have been bomb sites…even the house we lived in in Lambeth Walk felt like it had tilted during a bomb blast (over the road had been levelled during the war).

Rebuilding is a slow and steady process….

Also added a Portland frog..all hail the frog.

    Yes, if you watch that great old film "Passport To Pimlico" you can see the bomb site opposite where we used to live in Lambeth Walk. All hail the frog army!

      The costumes are pure genius.. Showing the absurdity of the whole situation... And baffling Trump... Brilliant.

    Great image. My Dad lived in London during the Blitz, he told us a few stories.
    Thanks for Portland Frog reference, I'd missed that in the news. Go Frog Go!

      Living in London during the blitz must have been horrendous. 😥
