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.

A VERY interesting topic for M day! And some great shots, too!

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.
