I forrige uge gik vi en tur en aften, som blandt andet gik op over Blackheath, som er et af de skoenneste steder i hele London. En kaempe stor plaene med utrolig langt til loftet og udsigt over stort set hele London.
Paa vejen fik jeg oeje paa endnu en af de famoese graffitidyr, ogsaa kaldet "Braegende elg ved skovsoe". Denne her er lidt spoejs. I foraaret blev vores nabokommune, Greenwich, tildelt "Royal" status og er nu kendt som "The Royal Borough of Greenwich". "Vi vil ogsaa vaere en royal kommune" loed der rundt omkrig i Lewisham og mange pointerede at Lewisham faktisk allerede har en kongekrone i sit logo. Den sydlige del af Blackheath er i Lewisham kommune - ergo har den braegende elg en Lewisham krone paa.

Den elg får kronede dage - synd hvis den bliver ødelagt af graffiti! Frem med Tippex (som forhåbentlig ikke er tørret helt ud!)
Gedemælk, hed det egentlig.
Det er underligt at tænke at jeg har gået på Blackheath hele vejen ned til Invalide-hospitalet (eller hvad det nu hedder, det, som Wren tegnede.)
The Old Royal Naval College is the architectural centrepiece of Maritime Greenwich, a World Heritage Site in Greenwich, London, described by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) as being of “outstanding universal value” and reckoned to be the “finest and most dramatically sited architectural and landscape ensemble in the British Isles”.
The site is managed by the Greenwich Foundation for the Old Royal Naval College (Foundation), set up in July 1998 as a Registered Charity to “look after these magnificent buildings and their grounds for the benefit of the nation”. The grounds and some of its buildings are open to visitors.
The buildings were originally constructed to serve as the Royal Hospital for Seamen at Greenwich, now generally known as Greenwich Hospital, which was designed by Christopher Wren, and built between 1696 and 1712. The hospital closed in 1869. Between 1873 and 1998 it was the Royal Naval College, Greenwich.
