I am a bit stressed lately, so I thought I need to do something about it.
I visited Greenwich, a London Borough, and home to the Cutty Sark , a tea clipper, a beautiful sailing ship from 1869.
The ship was badly damaged by fire on 21 May 2007 while undergoing conservation. The vessel has since been restored and reopened to the public on 25 April 2012
I visited the vessel in 1984 in it’s original glory… these are two pictures from my photo album then…
Now after the fire damage and long restoration it is back open to the public.
It is at the bank of the River Thames and around it are beautiful flowers.
I walked along the river and saw the amazing sunset.
On my way home I have to change trains and have to go through a concrete jungle. Still it looks great with all the lights!
This is my London and I love it!
Watching the sunset is wonderful therapy for stress relief.
Highly recommendable!
Ute smile

Beautiful photos and great advice. I hope you’re feeling less stressed and refreshed to handle whatever comes your way.
It was well worth it and it did help! Thanks Rene.
I love your city too, Ute – and I like your way to you handle your stress. A walk with the camera is a fantastic therapy and we see a total different world.
I remember very well when the fire happened, lived in Belfast then. So glad that it’s recovered … and has got it’s mightiness back.

Wonderful post. And I did not have time to read it yesterday!! You are reading my mind! Love it
Thanks Sandy, have a rest and relax ! 🙂
I love it too, Ute. 🙂 That looks a wonderful restoration job.

of course you can! 🙂 and relax!
I’m there! 🙂
Simply exquisite photos! I love your London too! Welll…I love all of England and am convinced I really belong there as enamored as I am with all things English 😉 ~ It makes me happy when they restore history as they are with that ship. So very cool that you have photos to document the progress as well.
Thank you so much for always shining so bright Ute …and sharing your brightness with us all! I hope you have an amazing rest of the week as well as the weekend too! 🙂
P.S. May I use the last photo you shared on my FB page? I *love* it! 🙂 Hugs ~

Thank you for you sweet comment, it makes me extremely happy to know that you love my London and enjoy photos of it too. My sister will be visiting soon and I will take her round to more places and day trips. I will share some here too.
You made my morning very happy with your comment and I thank you from my heart!
Great photos, Ute. London is certainly a very special city. Love the sunset. 🙂
Thank you I think sunsets with water are the best….. 🙂
Love it. Glad you found time to relax. Feel free to share your posts on my new http://www.facebook.com/BlogTrainerUK page or Twitter @BlogTrainerUK using #blogquirky
thanks very much Sandra!
I love tall ships. Cutty Sark has not visited Finland where they visit every fourth year. The figurehead was beautiful.
No the Cutty Sark has not gone to your direction. It is now a museum ship and really interesting!
I believe it. It seems that many countries have their own tall ships. Finland also, but I have not made a post of it. Ours is called Suomen Joutsen and in English it is Finnish Swan. 🙂
