Inside Independence Hall

And here is me inside Independence Hall.

Independence Hall

Today's picture shows me outside Independence Hall in Philadelphia. What a great piece of architecture, this building was constructed between 1732 and 1753 which is an amazing tea break or one of the greatest pieces of "Mmm, we *can* do that Sir, but its going to take a few days extra" ever created.

The Declaration of Independence was adopted and the Constitution of the United States was drafted and signed here. When I visited there was a display containing three pages of the constitution and no flash photography was allowed despite the pages being "Twentieth Century facsimilies" according to my guide.

The Liberty Bell

The Liberty Bell is in the centre of Philadelphia and is a symbol for peace throughout the world.

It is also indoors and I only had my tuxedo. Here is a photo of me with the bell.



It was cold enough to freeze the brass bells off a Jimmy.

Champagne and its effects

Oh dear. Not long into Mark and Laura's wedding and already the reputation I have to live up to as a stand in ("I'm already standing") for the real Jimmy Andersson is starting to get me down.

Just one glass of champagne and the effects are being felt. Though in my defence, each glass of champagne I have is big enough for a bath.



The real Jimmy must practice a lot...

My first blog entry

Hi, my name is Little Jimmy and I am 18 centimetres tall. My first social engagement was to be a stand in for Jimmy the Swede while he was busy being Best Man. Naturally I took to this task like a fish to water, or more closely, a Jimmy to champagne.

In fact, here is a picture of my first ever glass of champagne.



This blog will show me on my travels.
