Sunny days
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.


Winter is here

Winter has truly set in!
100w lightbulb ban

The sign on the starburst in a variety/homewares shop in North Finchley reads: ‘Due to new EU regulations banning 100w and 150w light bulbs, wholesalers of light bulbs have doubled the price of 100w and 150w bulbs. We are sorry to have to increase the price of these items. We were allowed to purchase only limited stock of these items. Once the stock’s gone it’s gone.’

Some great photos of the London snowstorm over at Urban75, including frozen fountains at Trafalgar Square.

A little icy out there in London town, methinks

Suburban snow

We didn’t have a white Christmas, but we had a white London the week before. This time, I didn’t have a chance to venture out to Primrose Hill or Regent’s Park as usual! Even so, I still enjoyed the snow.

Autumn is here again

Autumn is definitely here again. One of the most beautiful times of year.
