I suspected that I was misunderstanding something, but did it anyway .-)

I guess Norway is OK, but we haven\t one day with more than 20C yet this year, 
so you'll need warm clothes...

Hi,

yes, that looks nice. I've never been to any of the Scandinavian countries,
but whenever I think the politics in this country will drive me into exile,
I always imagine I will end up in Sweden, Denmark or Norway. They look like
nice relaxed countries.

By the way, it's a million pound view only because there are 4 houses in
it...

I thought so too, but then I noticed that what I thought was an  
outdoor bath actually appears to be a rounded table.  I've not seen  
Bob's neighbours though...

Well, I've got these views, too:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/yourlondon/greenwich/index.shtml

But I have to leave the house and walk 5 minutes to see them. It's so
inconvenient.

And if I walk to the top of the hill I can see St. Paul's, Tower Bridge etc.
in the distance. 
Over to the left in this photo:

That's not one of my photos, I found it on this page, which is rather good:

I grew up in a house like that - in fact, my family still owns it!  Then I 
bought something similar (1888 3-bedroom terrace) in Wimbledon when I was in 
my 20's and working in London: sure wish I hadn't sold it a few years later 
when I went overseas for the first time!

I was expecting (or perhaps, more accurately, hoping) for a Walt
Disney (like in Mary Poppins or Peter Pan) view of the rooftops of
London, with St. Paul's or the Tower Bridge or Big Ben in the
distance, on a moonlit night.

Apparently not...
