Debbie’s ‘One Word Sunday’ this week, is ‘Bridge’.
Here are some bridge travel memories from our visit to London last year. The photos were taken from London Bridge, one of the many bridges which span the River Thames. The original bridge was a wooden construction, built by the Roman founders of London in 50AD. I wonder what they would think of it now.
The iconic Tower Bridge, officially opened in 1894 is one of London’s most famous landmarks.
In the other direction is Cannon Street Railway Bridge, which was opened in 1866. This bridge carries trains on the Southeastern line over the River Thames to Cannon Street Station.
Looking at these photos makes me long to be able to travel again. We were just chatting on the phone to our daughter in South Africa and to Chris’s mom in England, and saying how we can’t wait to be able to see and hug one another.
Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday.
I wonder what they would think of it now also 😉
I’m sure they would be astounded. 😳

Nice reminders of our trip to London! Would love to go there again!
Thanks, Aletta. We too. 😃
Well there were a lot more trails in the sky today so planes are increasing
Good news, Lisa. 🙂
Now that is something you do not see here in the states, Sylvia. Wow!!
PS BIG (((HUGS)))!!! Nothing wrong with hugs … what is wrong those in power scaring people not to hug. Nuff said.
🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thanks, AmyRose. 😘
Oh, yes. Your pictures remind me of the place too. I still recalled I was on the bridge too.
That’s so nice, YC. We’ve both walked the same path but probably at different times. 😃
London Bridge is . . . not falling down!
Thankfully not, Nancy. 🙂
Given your love for travel and family abroad, peace to you two during these crazy times. Meanwhile, thanks for the London reminders. 🙂
Thanks, Frank. Always good to see you. 🙂
Fabulous views of a fabulous city.
Thanks, Carol. So much to see there. 🙂
From where I sit, it seems we should be building bridges rather than walls, but for the mess we’re in. I suspect the next few months will be rocky ones. We can only hope we get to the other side without much of a struggle.
🙏🏻 You’re right about that, Gunta.
London Bridge brings back many happy memories of holidays in the UK, and we had planned a really lovely holiday visiting our family and favourite places for this year…not to be of course. Let’s cross fingers we will be able to travel again in the not too distant future…and the same for you Sylvia.
Thanks so much, Gerrie. We’ll keep our fingers and toes crossed. 🙂
Well this bridge is definitely a far cry from the 50 AD one! Like you, earlier I was contemplating when can I hug the people I love again. This pandemic has eaten most of this year and that is a lot of life lost. It gives me grief sometimes but I suppose all the more reason to hope, too. I wish you are able to travel again soon and you can see your family.
Thank you so much to both of you. 🙂
I’ve been wondering about that too. The media here says that international travel might be at least a year away.
Good Sunday to you. 🙂
Oh no! That would be terrible, but I guess one can’t take risks. 😯
Great bridges, Sylvia. I am missing traveling, but very much enjoying closer to home explorations at the moment.
Thanks, Debbie. It’s not so much the places I’m missing as the people we visit.
So much history to be absorbed in our capital, but too much ridiculous modernisation.
I have a feeling that Covid has proved that we longer need atrocious office blocks 50% can work from home 🙂
I’m sure you’re right, Sue. Both my son and son-in-law have been working from home since March.
The day will come when we can all travel again. 🙂
Yes, it’s bound to happen, Lavinia. 😃
Although there’s no hugging involved, I’m blessed to be able to see my parents at least once a week now that we live in Arizona. Before that, it was once a year. So despite the pandemic, I’m blessed. Hopefully you’ll be able to travel sooner rather than later. I know I’m looking forward to getting back to France next year.

How wonderful, Janet. You are very blessed indeed. 😘
Oh my…. it’s been so many years I haven’t seen London.
Lovely images from and of the bridges, Sylvia!
xoxoxo
Thanks, Marina. Glad I could bring back good memories for you. 😘🤗
🤗😘🤗
Thank you for sharing your “travel” photographs and reminding me that “this too shall pass.” Bridges has always been my symbol for transitions. We are moving forward and learning new ways of connecting across the globe. Right now, it feels like we have arrived at the centre of the bridge, and will soon make our way across to the other side. Hugs coming your way – thank you for giving a boost to my day.
Thanks for the inspiration and the hugs, dear Rebecca. 🤗😘
Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos, Sylvia. Enjoy your Sunday. ❤
Thanks so much, Jill. 😘
these brought back lovey memories, Sylvia. thank you! 🙂 great take on the challenge! 🙂
Thanks so much, Lola. Glad you enjoyed your virtual trip to London. 😘
Ah, well done! Have a good evening, Sylvia!
Thanks, Sue. 😘
Wow, what incredible architecture!
London is an amazing city for old and wonderful architecture. 😍
We are all really hug deprived and need them soon. :-)♥
So true, Ute. 😳
Good reminders for me
Thanks, Derrick. 😃
