    Oh London indeed. Was quite a few years ago we visited, but the sights remain timeless and ever glorious.

    Thanks so much

    Sam Johnson's CAT? Did he kill lots of mice?

    While I admire the beauty of the Victoria Memorial, it is the monument to Hodge that most caught my fancy. I had to google to find out more.

    I knew of the monument to Samuel Johnson's cat, but I didn't remember the cat's name.
    I must tell my husband about it, because we plan to "do London" one of these days.

    I've never seen Hodge before. How lovely and British to have a statue of a cat.
