This is my all-time favourite scene and song from a movie…EVER!!! Mary Poppins is my absolute favourite film, without a doubt its what inspired and delighted me in my first hours in England; the chimney pots, and prompted me to exclaim “I could live here” – I’d been in England for approximately 2 hours when I said that, and I’ve never looked back or changed my mind…except for occasionally threatening to move to Italy or Portugal on shitty weather days – like today π€ π
I’ve sat on the steps of St Paul’s cathedral, in as close to this position as possible and had my hot chips, on one of my many forays into the city.
I can never get through listening to or singing this song without crying.
Even as I think about it, it brings tears to my eyes. And I’m not even sure why…coz I don’t like pigeonsπ³ πππ




I remember getting ‘tingles’ when I heard Feed The Birds in the cinema in 1965 or thereabouts, it’s a song that’s always stayed with me. The part where the music swells and the ‘camera’ pans up to the top of the cathedral, even now my spine tinglesβ¦
It always brings tears to my eyes. One of the first things I did after arriving in the UK, was to find that spot on the steps of St Paul’s…I ate my lunch there π
