<p>Poem. <br />
<br />
<br />
                               <br />
<br />
Sunrise splashes the glory of a new day across the forested slopes of Glen Garry.<br />
Winding its way through, like a disturbed serpent, the waters of Loch Garry stand out like a sunlit beacon.<br />
Its fragmented twists and turns wend their way westwards towards the fjords of Hourn and Nevis.<br />
The fragrance of pine lingers as the warmth rises.<br />
The last vestiges of cloud linger and &quot;melt&quot; above the watery forest floor. <br />
As the sun strengthens, the dissipating cloud provides vistas extending twenty miles.<br />
Hill upon hill, slope upon slope.<br />
A hidden track winds towards the deeply indented western seaboard.<br />
The beginnings of the journey are shaded and softened by a verdant forest, the origins of which go back to ice-ages long past.<br />
Now the sun brings life – <br />
and life…………. abundantly!</p>

<p>The Georgian houses at Wapping Pier Head must be among the finest Georgian residences overlooking the River Thames—perhaps the very best in London. <br />
<br />
Their rarity on the market and commanding views ensure that whenever one does appear for sale, it carries a substantial price tag. One is for sale with a guide price of £4.25m! It is private road so these were the best pictures I could get<br />
<br />
Built around 1812 for senior officials of the London Dock Company, these grand homes form an elegant square: the Thames defines its southern edge, while Wapping High Street borders the north. Through the centre once ran the original lock entrance to the London Docks, explaining why No. 3 served as the Custom House, where dock officers inspected imported goods.<br />
<br />
By the 1930s, the lock had become inadequate for the larger ships of the era and was eventually filled in during the 1960s, when post‑war reconstruction transformed the bomb‑damaged docklands into new housing. Today, the former lock survives as a tranquil garden between two terraces of distinguished Georgian houses</p>
