29 April 2009

Sun's back. Hard to continue on to work some days when that little bank by the Regent's Park boating lake is looking so appealing.

28 April 2009

Sour moods are made slightly less so by Reese's Peanut Butter cups at one's desk.

27 April 2009

Guess it does still rain in London... on my walk back from a conference and then tea with my friend Ruth at the Royal Automobile Club. I'm just that posh.

26 April 2009

Cooking up a Sunday lunch for friends...


And then lunch stretched into the wee hours and ended up with absurdity at a friend's studio...

25 April 2009

Another gorgeous beautiful day, another long aimless walk. This is the beautiful light along the Broad Walk in Regent's Park.

24 April 2009

Waiting on a friend for lunch at an outdoor cafe in Soho on a Friday afternoon almost as gorgeous as the mens strutting by...

23 April 2009

In summertime in London, the pubs spilleth over. Copious Pimm's were consumed with my coworkers. Curry followed.

22 April 2009

Lunchtime in Covent Garden

22 April 2009

Springtime morning on the walk to work through Regent's Park...

21 April 2009

Walking home, I noticed this household 'walking their bird' - everyone deserves a bit of London sunshine, I suppose :)


And on the way home from my appointment, had to stop and sit on the stoop of the pub with a sprightly Pimm's... mmmm... and right as I was taking this shot, a friend in the neighborhood happened by and joined me. How I enjoy serendipitous neighborliness!

20 April 2009

Spotting (and smelling!) some freshly cut grass in Regent's Park! Spring has sprung, indeed...

19 April 2009

Waiting for friends at the Warrington pub, I try to get my life sorted out (for the time being, at least).
Waiting for

18 April 2009

It's a beautiful day, so I hop the Bakerloo to the end of the line and visit the village of Harrow


Lord Byron used to sit here in his special spot while a student and gaze out at the London countryside...

TGIF


16 April 2009

Walking to the cinema in Mayfair (to see the 400 Blows... beautiful) I saw a few people sitting across the street from Fortumn & Mason, watching expectantly. Had never known there was a glockenspiel there!


15 April 2009

Soho on a Wednesday Noon - when it's still fairly quiet and not yet heaving with hedonists...

Latex dress shops... a victim of the Great Recession?

And right across the street from one of my favorite old shops, that looks as though it has withstood many a cycle - the Algerian Coffee Store



14 August 2009

Death and Taxes... the morning after... invective against the damned IRS still coursing through my veins...

13 August 2009

Easter Monday and the living is easy... sitting in a pub garden in St. John's Wood discussing life and literature and food with Shazzie...

12 April 2009


Love the smell of ground coffee...
