Dawn | The Legends of London
https://thelegendsoflondon.wordpress.com/author/dawndenton
The Legends of London. This is where it all began! Sharing my passions and inspirations. Secret Lore of London – edited by John Matthews with Caroline Wise. Put the two together and you have this wonderfully woven collection of stories that introduce the reader to London lore. So, what is lore? Lore fascinates me. It generally asks more questions than it answers, and I love that! But, how much of it is real? How much of it is fantasy? What were their agendas? Who were their patrons? As a trained guide I ...

Tally Tax | The Legends of London

The Legends of London. This is where it all began! Finally, in 1834, someone suggested that maybe they get rid of them, so they were burnt in a furnace under the House of Lords…but the furnace was overloaded and the fire spread rapidly. Sadly the fire destroyed most of the Palace and some very valuable, historical documents (such as the warrant for the execution of Charles I). Posted in A London Story.

Awards | The Legends of London
https://thelegendsoflondon.wordpress.com/awards
The Legends of London. This is where it all began! My love of travel inspired me to become a tour director in the late 1990s. When I decided to lay my toothbrush in a place for more than 2 days in 2004, I did not want to let go of my love of guiding. I got myself qualified as a London City Guide. If I was not able to give a walking tour, how else could I share my love of London? Or “I didnt know that! 8221;, or “That is amazing! I must tell….”. The Very Inspiring Blogger Award. 2 I hate onions. For nomin...

Cabbie Rules | The Legends of London
https://thelegendsoflondon.wordpress.com/2014/10/17/cabbie-rules
The Legends of London. This is where it all began! It is, in fact, illegal to hail a cab while it is in motion – you should go to a rank or a ‘place appointed’. A cabby is supposed to ask each passenger if they have a ‘notifiable disease such as smallpox or the plague’, as it is illegal to carry a sufferer. It is also illegal for a cabby to carry a a rabid dog or a corpse, so it really is in the best interests of the cabby to ensure his passenger is not going to die in the cab. Posted in A London Story.

Welsh Introduction – Travel Trales
https://traveltrales.wordpress.com/2013/06/21/welsh-introduction
A journey through time across United Kingdom and Ireland. Wales is Anglo Saxon for foreigner and has a population of just under 3 million. Two thirds of the population live in south Wales and ten percent of births are to mothers born outside her borders. Celtic Britons began a long history of mining during the Iron Age, but the true Welsh identity only really developed after the Roman withdrawal in the fifth century. And of course the changeable weather gives the incredible scenery a sense of history, in...

The Cheviot Hills – Travel Trales
https://traveltrales.wordpress.com/2013/08/06/the-cheviot-hills
A journey through time across United Kingdom and Ireland. The rolling hills that straddle the English-Scottish border are pronounced without the last syllable and the pocket for land here that was used for hunting was known as a chase, thus Chevy Chase. Chevy Chase is a city in Maryland USA named after the area and the ballads, and the actor with the same name changed his name from Cornelius Crane Chase, just because he liked the sound of it.

Numis vs the Euro – Travel Trales
https://traveltrales.wordpress.com/2014/04/14/numis-vs-euros
A journey through time across United Kingdom and Ireland. Numis vs the Euro. It was 1,700 years before the introduction of the Euro that a single currency was being used across the Roman Empire. The numis coins were recognised and used by merchants in Constantinople and citizens of the Eternal City to soldiers stationed on Hadrian’s Wall. As with the Euro, the Roman coinage had a standardised design on one side and some kind of representation of the country the coins came from on the other. April 14, 2014.
