Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard about the London riots. Horrific pictures and tales have been streaming in from across the city. Monday night -- the height of the violence -- was my and Mr TR's second anniversary. I've harped on about our London love story so I won't wax poetic here, but needless to say this city played an integral role in our relationship. As we headed out to the theatre and dinner on Monday, we had no idea of the violence that was about to erupt, just ten minutes away from where we live.
I don't want to talk about any of the horrible things that happened in the city. I do want to show you some fantastic images of London on our wedding night. So... here's to London and love!
Thanks for your positive spin on London & those romantic pictures. Happy Anniversary! I hope you are safe from the riots & I'm reading that things are calming down.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful shots of London - and you two, of course! I fail to understand why what's going on over there is going on, but the pictures on the news are horrific. Stay calm. Drink tea. Rejoice in each other. Happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, Talli.
ReplyDeleteLondon is a wonderful city and no-one can spoil that! x
Thank you for the reminder of my beautiful London. I'm glad to see a post from you, I was hoping you were okay.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary and what a lovely wedding you obviously had.
Beautiful pictures!! Happy Anniversary~
ReplyDeleteSending lots of positive thoughts to all in London. Cheers!
awww great pics. I cant help but feel like the media feeds it all and makes it all esculate, so well done you for not being part of that :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary:-) London will recover - it always does, though usually the trouble comes from outside the UK!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! London holds a special place in my heart too...glad you stayed safe.
ReplyDeleteI thought about you when I saw the footage TV. Glad you safe. Great shots of you and London.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, and a happy anniversary to both of you. I'm glad things are starting to calm down there. It's a magnificent city that I must visit someday soon.
ReplyDeleteYOU have my undivided attention. I love London. That picture of you in your wedding dress is a beauty. Congratulations on your wedding anniversary. May your home be surrounded in peace.

Congratulations! Not just on your wedding, but on your insistence to take your life in your hands not handing it over to the darkness and fire all around you.
ReplyDeleteI was very concerned for you when I read of the London riots. The worst darkness and fire are hidden in the human heart. Stay safe.
I loved the photos of London. Roland
I have been thinking of you with all those London riots. So glad that you are safe.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful memories and pictures of your wedding day!
Cheers to the both of you!
Thanks for reminding everyone of the beauty of London as the city works its way through this difficult period.
ReplyDeletelovely...of course it is hard when the place you love is in turmoil but please have faith that there are some good and valid reasons for the upset. The more we stay open in such times, the faster we can get to the healing.
ReplyDeletemuch love to you, your sweet patootie and your friends and neighbours.
Love your photos! Gorgeous and sweet. Yes, and a good thing to focus on while other less lovely things are going on there in London.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your wedding anniversary, London has some wonderful sights and was always a visitor especially as a child as I was born on ly 20 mins away on the train, a place called RedHill Surrey. Here's to the next anniversary.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Thank you for sharing such beautiful photos and for lightening the darkness. My thoughts are with you and your lovely city while it is in turmoil.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter works on the Birmingham city centre street where all the shops have been smashed up and looted. She spent yesterday shut in the building and they were all sent home early to make sure they got back safely. I was worried about her all day, so it is good to see some positive pictures of London when so many pictures are so sad.
ReplyDeleteI hope your anniversary was happy despite the mayhem being so near to you. Thanks for sharing it with us :-)

I think about you every time I hear or read something about the violence. I'm so glad to know that you're safe. I haven't been to London YET, but I hope to visit one day because everyone I know who's been there loves it so much. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThere you go - think of the good stuff! Keeping an eye on you and Old Kitty, since you are both so close to what's been happening.
ReplyDeleteThanks for cheering me up Talli about my London!
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful pictures of you-wow... and your man. Your happiness shines against the London back-drop.
Seeing that I've focused London riots today on my blog, I added your link on my blog, to show the faith and hope that shines through.
Stay safe!
Thanks for sharing.
I'm going to add a tea-pot image.
Awesome pictures and happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteThe first picture is gorgeous and so sweet! Happy Anniversary, Talli!
ReplyDeletePraying for all of you Londoners and that those restless people find some semblance of peace to end their ridiculousness already.
Thank you, Talli, for sharing your wedding day with us!
ReplyDeleteI hope things are back to normal soon in London. It's a wonderful city.
Congratulations to you both and thank goodness for some happy London photos :)

ReplyDeleteEnid Blyton .. and 'paddling' - what did you mean by that?! - when you commented over @me!
Happy Anniversary .. and many more .. Hilary
Great pictures! Happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteTalli, it is such a joy to visit your site and I wish you a very Happy Anniversary. Your pictures are beautiful!!(as are you). I am saddened by what is happening in your lovely part of the world and so hope that it dissipates quickly! As Elspeth said above, stay calm. Remember to move forward with thoughts that this too shall pass and the city you love will be even stronger. History shows us the strength of the UK and within it I admire its uplifting spirit through any adversity... happy thoughts to you from the American South.
ReplyDeleteYou two look so happy! Beautiful photos, thank you for sharing them. (I have to admit, I was more enchanted with London than I was with Paris the last time I was overseas.)
ReplyDeletehi Talli .. thanks for coming over - regardless of the nom-de-plume!
ReplyDeleteDid you spot Anne's question re your ghost sign in Notting Hill?
She'd love to know what it is ..? - or email her/me with a photo of it in due course .. Anne left her email and I'm as you know ..
Cheers Hilary

ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary, Talli! I still love London, can't help it. But I keep thinking of the Smiths line "panic on the streets of London, panic on the streets of Birmingham..." Stay safe!
