Apparently some of you were having trouble with my new images, I had it linked to the UK & Ireland album rather than the gallery as a whole. Apologies, fixed now however. Also there is one more album in there that may seem odd.
Dave and I have been encountering an abnormally large number of icons and monument under renovation. Even if they aren't an icon or monument they are a major feature in the landscape. Because of this I made a joke way back in London that 2009 was the 'European year of Renovations'.
Oh how I wish I hadn't. Fate may be fickle but her sister Irony is just plane mean.
The joke stopped being funny long ago when we noticed that a trend was forming. A large church in Bruges, the Law Courts in Brussels, a large statue out the front of Versailles as well as a host of lesser land marks. Most recently (and possibly the one I most bitterly resent) I can be quoted saying "if Charles Bridge is under reno i think i might cry a little."
If this were a letter there would be artful little tear stains right here.
