But I was also in town during the 7/7 attacks. Locals facetiously say they miss the old days bc most of the time they rang ahead of time. People do ask why I choose to live here with it always being so susceptible..,Coulda shoulda wouldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507021618497645667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785207417164829425.post-43652028966611308192015-04-07T19:07:18.354-04:002015-04-07T19:07:18.354-04:00donna baker, thank you.

I think my post was really about the way these kind of events have such deep roots – look at what happened in the Balkans after Yugoslavia crumbled. I hadn't realized how deeply I felt all these years later!Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07652670896513329236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785207417164829425.post-79823871977512382802015-04-07T19:04:44.301-04:002015-04-07T19:04:44.301-04:00ArchitectDesign, thank you.

I think I have missed much by not visiting Ireland and it was only last week when Kate and I were talking about this did I realize how deeply I felt and how much work I have to do about it. <br /><br />As to London; I think you would adore the place.

I remember hearing about them on the news as a child and it probably in some unconscious way is why I've never visited London to this day!ArchitectDesign™https://www.blogger.com/profile/01481754380363676771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785207417164829425.post-77253773510764366782015-04-04T11:56:35.308-04:002015-04-04T11:56:35.308-04:00I was too young at the time to remember much about...I was too young at the time to remember much about the IRA, but knew an Irishman in graduate school, who talked of them with much hatred. I haven't traveled much and don't expect I will in the future, so I enjoyed hearing of yours.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.com
