Sunny days

without comments

When the first signs of spring arrive in London, that is when everyone begins to wake up and feel invigorated again. Fresh air and sunshine; the crocuses and the daffodils. The cloudless skies, inviting us to exercise and feel physically light as the light falls on us. Even the wheelie bins on the suburban roads have a certain charm when the sun is out.

Summer rain in Soho

The view from Borders on Charing Cross Rd at around 7.30pm. Had no choice but to stay put until the rain eased!

Spring is here and so are the cherry blossoms!

with one comment

The cherry blossoms are out in London and the birds are singing. The sky is blue. Strange to think that last month we had the most snow here in almost 20 years!

After attending a 9.30am breakfast meeting (over a delicious spinach, cheese and mushroom omelette at Richeloux, St John’s Wood, which I am still raving about) I wandered down Circus Rd to capture the spring blossoms… sadly, I only had my mobile (again) but you get the idea.

After the snow

with 3 comments

Taken last week. The remaining snow resembles meteorites that have crash-landed from a different planet.

What a week it’s been!

Check out my friend Mark’s brilliant London snow photo from Monday morning – I’m very envious of such an atmopheric photo, which wouldn’t be out of place on the front page of a newspaper!
