Gives the impression you've been all over the world and can scarcely store all the treasures you've gathered.<br /><br />It has to be well arranged and of sophisticated interest, though, or you're just an average disorganized person with dumb memorabilia all over the place.The Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12511505932392754809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28525168.post-72602954065974530422009-06-17T08:42:52.720-07:002009-06-17T08:42:52.720-07:00Wow, guys.

I've never been there at all, except passing through to get to Cambridge. And now that the Second Great Depression has struck, I guess I never will be able to go. Sigh. ... Anyway, trying to visit the home of a non-existent person makes sense to me, somehow. On the other hand, I don't suppose that speaks well for my sanity.Lester Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14746157071827337723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28525168.post-61435070902411695462009-06-17T08:09:14.080-07:002009-06-17T08:09:14.080-07:00Edwardian clutter may have something to do with En...Edwardian clutter may have something to do with English sense of eccentricity.<br /> All the rain drives them inward.<br /><br /> The clutter's a distraction from the crappy weather.<br /><br />Do you know about Sir John Soane's house (museum) in London?

On my way to the McDonald's it never ceased to amaze me how many tourists would be craning their necks looking for <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=221+baker+street+london+england+UK&ie=UTF8&ll=51.524352,-0.157778&spn=0.003418,0.009012&z=16" rel="nofollow">221B</a> as if it actually existed (it does now, as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherlock_Holmes_Museum" rel="nofollow">Sherlock Holmes Museum</a>). There was a great pub up the street, it may have been called The World (not to be confused with The World's End in Camden).lastangelmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13825794418150920412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28525168.post-75770340741085165102009-06-17T00:52:57.398-07:002009-06-17T00:52:57.398-07:00I actually wanted my house to be like this, with e...I actually wanted my house to be like this, with evidence of all my travels.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02975751161143205872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28525168.post-19363416635475488582009-06-17T00:24:42.185-07:002009-06-17T00:24:42.185-07:00Don't feel bad.

Anyway, Baker St...too bad it's so modern and ugly. At least Mdme Tussaud's is nearby...isn't it? <br />Those pictures look like the Sherlock Holmes Pub & Restaurant, which had a recreation of 221b Baker St upstairs. I went there once-not first trip nor last--and it was fun but what a tourist trap. And the food was awful. Well--tourist trap. Food in the UK is so much better now, really excellent.<br /><br />What would life be without artful clutter? I know Frank Lloyd Wright would despise me but it's the only way I can live.Jenny Lerewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06668171465801333811noreply@blogger.com
