Three Rainy Days, One Window

Did you know it rains a lot in England? A lot. But sometimes it looks better than any summer day.

Builder Gremlins in central London

 

I spotted these little builder figures painted on a work site I think on Gower Street, just North of the British Museum. I don't know if the company likes them or not, but it would be great to see more of this kind of thing on all the building sites you find in any city.

from the archives: I Love Fiji

Back in 2004, I was lucky enough to spend four nights on Nanuya Lailai, in Fiji's Yasawa Islands. That trip was probably one of the highlights of my life. It's so unique and unlike anywhere else that you feel as though you must be on another planet.

Boat of the Thames, West London

These photos are a couple of months old. I took a boat trip up the Thames, from Richmond to Ham House. It was a warm day and there was so much activity on the water.

Borough Market, London

Half Blade Runner and half Dickensian London, Borough Market is one of my favourite spots in the city. Though I usually only end up coming home with a bag full of freshly ground coffee from Monmouth, its stalls have an eclectic mix of some of the best foods the UK has to offer. All kinds of freshly grilled items for a lunch on the go too. Don't be intimidated by the crowd: that's half the fun.
