Not true as told, but I've experienced it. Unfortunately, several days after it was written, on 9/8/11 my area (NE US) was hit with catastrophic flash flooding, the worst in 35-40 years. We are pulling together, we are bailing and salvaging, and most everybody says the same thing: we will stay here. We will rebuild. This is our home. That ol' river ain't licked us yet :-)))Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831231531918915804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757405063506888257.post-67117135770574548592011-09-10T22:32:07.886+01:002011-09-10T22:32:07.886+01:00Love that spot.

Then we saw the Royal Courts of Justice, the church, gardens etc etc. <br /><br />Even people who had never been to this part of London felt familiar with The Inns of Court and the bewigged barristers walking around, I suppose because of Rumpole. But I am not sure where "Outer Temple" was filmed.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
