Rudyard Kipling

Visited the home of another famous traveler and author, Rudyard Kipling.  Inside, there are many cool items, including some original artwork from The Jungle Book.  Mowgli was vthe most popular character, but I always liked Rikki-Tikki-Tavi.  Kipling lived at Bateman's from 1902 until his death in 1936.

Bateman's, home of Rudyard Kipling

The desk and a fantastic reference library

And on a totally different subject, it just passed 8:12 a.m. and I think everyone in England was ringing a bell to mark the final journey of the Olympic Torch along the Thames.  The time is getting closer . . .
