Peace

Tucked away in a small garden of St James Church in Piccadilly is this peace statue. The garden was created to commemorate the bravery of Londoners during the second world war when the area was heavily bombed and many lives lost.

I thought her appropriate today as we woke up to the news of the terrible event in Norway.

It's a wonderful church and has all kinds of events there, or at least it did last time I looked. Must check again. Thing about London is that there is SO MUCH to see and do!!

She's beautiful Mo, and just right for today. Wouldn't it be nice to wake up in the morning and hear that there had been no tragedies overnight. I wonder if that will happen one day!

Leaves one shaking, doesn't it.
Tragedy follows tragedy. Appropriate tribute.

Have a relaxing weekend.

Most apt, Mo. We all wish for peace and Norway has been hit so hard.

Tragedies like the Blitz and the Norway atrocities so often show us both sides of the human spirit - the evil and the brave and generous.
