Dearest Joanna,
Your warmest wishes are greatly
appreciated and valued, all coming from a national treasure; a consort of fair
ideals and beauty. Grown local! Naysayers will be pooh-poohed. I have pictures
already of building a flower-filled crossing from London’s South Bank to the
Temple.
And it would be built quickly,
so as not to get in the way of the Thames Tideway tunnel, the giant sewer being
constructed in the river. A gift to the people of London filled with trees as
well as shrubs and wildflowers. Winding paths will snake around woodland copses
and glades. It would be a floating paradise, the tiara on the head of our
fabulous city. A wonderful environment for a crafty cigarette or a romantic
assignation, I must say.
I love Thomas and what’s he’s
doing with London currently, something truly ingenious. We must stand strong on
our principles, I can almost smell the garden bridge ringed with demented
enemies who do not want to see something beautiful established in the heart of
London. Up with the Ponte Giardino and down with our enemies! Beauty and
practicality in equal measure! And we will become champions of the concept and
once implemented, it will last long into the future. I am sure the GLA and TFL
will back the project, this is MOST certain!!! A great city must not rest on
its laurels!
Now with the Olympics behind us,
we have real vigour to carry on in the same fashion. There is a real obvious a
transport NEED with commuters filing like the hoards over Waterloo like TS
Eliot. London demands this beatific resolution, to rival the high-line of NYC
and elsewhere!
I say YES and I look forward to
this great project taking flight!
Ever Yours, Boris
xxxxxxxx
