    Mark and Hamish in London

    Yesterday, in pouring rain most of the time, I had the great pleasure of meeting up with Mark (mkmound) in London. Mark, from Texas, is in the UK for only a few days before moving on to Germany - a business trip you understand! We had only a few hours together, but here are a few photos we managed to 'snap' between the cloudbursts!

    This is the two of us in Trafalgar Square:


    Here, we are at Tower Bridge, close by The Tower of London:


    The fellow in the middle is some old Roman gent who happened to be loitering near London's Roman Wall:


    Mark was highly amused by the number of strangers who kept asking to be photographed with us, or who just wanted to take our picture.

    For me, it was a real pleasure to meet face-to-face with another member of the 'X Marks...' Clan from across the pond, especially as Mark is such an easy-going and pleasant chap. Thanks for making the effort to come to London, Mark.

    I was in London in '02 and you just brought back some great memories. I'll have to get back over there soon.
