29. I should have hired a comfy car!
I was stuck in north-east London on my way back from East Anglia with the traffic at a standstill. Having left Lavenham about 6pm it had taken me just over an hour and a half to reach the A406 which … Continue reading
Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflections
This week’s Photo Challenge sent me darting back to the lily pond (whence I came??) for another picture of reflections from the Waterlily House at Kew Gardens! I like this picture because you can see the opaque glass of the ceiling reflected so clearly, … Continue reading

13. Oh to be in Croydon, now that April’s there!
Where was I?…….Oh, that’s right….. the tail-gating in England (with a couple of shots from the Chelsea Flower Show for good measure). OK so they’re up behind you very, very close then someone in a side road on the left … Continue reading
12. Tooting Bec (Robert Lindsay and Wolfie Smith notwithstanding)
The traffic crawled along Trinity Road which is a major road linking Wandsworth Bridge to the southern suburbs of London and I must say I was very pleased about that for a while. The road passes through Wandsworth Common and … Continue reading
11. Checking out where I used to live……but (sorry) mainly toilet talk!
I was very eager to set out on my drive today – I have such fond memories of my earlier times in London that I was keen to be underway and heading south. What a gorgeous, warm sunny day. I … Continue reading
