The statue of Queen Anne at St Paul’s. The original (and many say better) statue ended up in the possession of a 19th-century travel writer, Augustus Hare, and can be seen at his former home, Holmhurst, in Baldslow in Sussex.

Lisbon: Looking out for No.1 | Inherit The Earth
https://inherit-the-earth.com/2008/11/15/lisbon
Central America and Caribbean. Lisbon: Looking out for No.1. AS any Sharpe fan will know, and hopefully most of the rest of us, too, Portugal is Britain’s oldest ally. Visiting Lisbon, I was reminded of the link between the countries by one iconic image: the bright red pillar box. Lisbon’s post boxes are the old British Victorian design, given a local makeover with a ‘Correio’ stamp instead of our regal ciphers, and a glass-fronted dial to show the next time of collection. Box No.3 was in the Bairro ...

Sierra Leone: The lion awakes | Inherit The Earth
https://inherit-the-earth.com/2010/05/25/sierra-leone-the-lion-awakes
Central America and Caribbean. Sierra Leone: The lion awakes. I WAKE in the night, clammy with sweat, itchy with insect repellent. A branch cracks suddenly, falling to the forest floor near my tent. Monkeys howl. I gulp warm water, wonder if my bladder will hold until daylight, and pull my damp sarong about me as I toss and turn. This is the side of paradise they don’t tell you about. Watching them being fed, the social interaction and gestures remind one inevitably that we humans share 95 per cent of ou...

Central America and Caribbean. Uzbekistan: The Silk Road. I GOT into Tashkent at 4am in the morning.

Central America and Caribbean. VISITORS TO FLORENCE will be familiar with Stendhal’s Syndrome, a kind of panic or ecstasy brought about by seeing too many wonders in too short a time, named after the impressionable young 19th-century French novelist. I’m sure the Russians have a parallel name for those overcome by the arguably even greater wonders of St Petersburg – probably something like Jaw-Drop Syndrome. Where does one start? Well, we’ve all heard of the State Hermitage Museum. Moved to the Catherine...

Central America and Caribbean. Category Archives: Middle East. AT SUNSET, the Roman columns of Palmyra lost in the desert, a five-hour drive from Damascus – look very romantic, the golden light highlighting the sandstone from which most of it is built. The main colonnade, lined with massive columns, stretches into the distance, its roadway unpaved so as to provide better footing for the endless camel caravans that once arrived here from the edges of empire.
