<h2>Feeling history&nbsp;</h2>
<p>When I visit London, I always get a strange feeling, not at all a bad feeling, just a bit odd. It feels like history is saying hello to me and also that there are others than living humans that populate the city… I can’t help it, I’m not a superstitious person. Even if I believe there exist things we dont’ know about.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Just look at these pics:&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>This is, as far as I know, one of the oldest pubs in London: "Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese"&nbsp;</em></p>

</p>
<p>I know there have been many terrible things happening in London. So maybe my feeling isn't that strange. Maybe it’s just imagination. &nbsp;Still I must say I love to be here, I love the pubs, the streets, the pulse and the people. Amazing new architecture mixed with old brick houses. Who cannot fall in love with London? I think that difficult times and suffering also make people feel closer to each other and that it creates a unique culture. And that pretty much describes why I like this city so much.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Like all large cities, you can find something for all tastes, cool bars, shops, art, architecture, ghost wanderings and so on. These pics are from inside a <a href="http://www.wheatsheafborough.co.uk/">trendy pub</a> in <a href="http://boroughmarket.org.uk/">Borough Market</a>, which is by the way, my favourite marketplace.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Hampton Hill</h2>

<p><em>Oh deer</em>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Probably not so much London, but still in the utmost zone. I went to Hampton Hill to visit my sister for five days last week. The small town feels like London but still it doesn’t...&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>Street view in Hampton&nbsp;</em></p>
<p>I spotted the deer shown above on a walk in the huge Royal Park: <a href="https://www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/bushy-park">Bushy Park</a>. Such beautiful place. It brings comfort and calmness to my soul. I get back to the normal for me when I meet natures beauty. This is where I belong. I love the city but nature is something extra. In the park, there were gardens, forests, waterfalls and much peace. A fantastic place for a walk or cycling trip.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Summary</h2>
<p>I really like to travel and visit new places. I like the city, I love London, but my heart belongs to nature. The green shades, the sound, smell and all plants. They are speaking to me in a different voice than the lost spirits I sense in London. Love both, and I would also really like to hear your stories about places that you love to visit and why.</p>
