This is a personal blog. I thought my children might find it interesting as they were raised in Costa Rica, half way across the world from where I was born (London), and feel little connection with their roots. No doubt I’ll ramble on about other stuff as I am interested in many things, including history, rock music, film, art, literature and politics. I have lived in Latin America for nearly 27 years, adore all things Spanish and speak the language, so lots of other topics are likely to arise…

The drawing of The Crystal Palace you have posted on your website is not the same Crystal Palace as the one in the photo after it burned down. The drawing is of the original Crystal Palce which was in Hyde Park. The Crystal Palace that was destroyed in the fire was in Sydenham.
Hi, Laura.
The Wiki link in the post explains that the building was dismantled and moved to South London. So the building was the same, but the location was not.
