Random London Quote Of The Week
London, thou art of townes A per se.
Soveraign of cities, seemliest in sight,
Of high renoun, riches and royaltie;
Of lordis, barons, and many a goodly knyght;
Of most delectable lusty ladies bright;
Of famous prelatis, in habitis clericall;
Of merchauntis full of substaunce and of myght:
London, thou art the flour of Cities all.
William Dunbar, In Honour of the City of London
London’s Weather This Week
The decent weather (for the time of year) should continue this week, apart from a spot of rainyness in the middle. Probably.
