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.

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.
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...
Another gorgeous beautiful day, another long aimless walk. This is the beautiful light along the Broad Walk in Regent's Park.
Waiting on a friend for lunch at an outdoor cafe in Soho on a Friday afternoon almost as gorgeous as the mens strutting by...
In summertime in London, the pubs spilleth over. Copious Pimm's were consumed with my coworkers. Curry followed.
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!
Spotting (and smelling!) some freshly cut grass in Regent's Park! Spring has sprung, indeed...
Waiting for friends at the Warrington pub, I try to get my life sorted out (for the time being, at least).

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...
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!
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
