Four Years On

Four years ago America suffered a terrible blow and it responded within seconds. More recently it suffered as bad a fate in the wake of Katrina and, weeks on, people are still suffering.

It’s somewhat ironic that today is Racial Justice Sunday given the number of races who perished in 9/11.

In Grosvenor Square, London at the memorial constructed for the British people lost on that day there lies beneath one of the beams from the World Trade Center donated by the people of New York. A small piece of the Big Apple which serves as a memorial for so many.

This afternoon Martin and I wandered around London together looking at the sites. In the evening we ended up in the Dutch bar De Hems in Macclesfield Street to drink Oranjeboom and Fruli, the fruit beer with a strawberry taste. Sitting in the quiet of the upstairs bar was a nice way to end the day.
