London

 

Looking through my pictures the other day I realized I haven't blogged about London. Shocking, because there were so many things about London that left a permanent mark on my memory.  So this post is for posterity.. for the days when I need that little lift of spirits, days when I need that little reminding of what was and could have been ...  



Best musical ever ! Period


What would London be without the sight of red double decker buses


I love this shot .. 


Anyone who knows me knows I go gaga over books. These were from the infamous Any Amount of Books at Charing Cross Road. Books going for a song ... *drool 


Needless to say, some came home with me ... *eyes downcast in appropriate repentance




Colourful buildings dotting the Camden Lock Market. I love all everything's so lovely and pastel despite the grey, overcast skies


The inside of Cyberdog looked very much like a neo-modern pub. Neon lights and neon coloured drinks. Very futuristic


Scooter seats ! 



Bits and knick knacks. Love the hot air balloons 


Oil paintings. Oh, how I wish I could have brought them back with me .... *drool 


The archways to the Horse Tunnel Market. 


A pretty mosaic bench. I could look at this for hours and hours and not grow tired of the splash of vivid colour on this one. 


The beginnings of autumn. Pretty ain't it ? 


And the obligatory red-phone-booth shot .... 

Just the other day someone told me about this website that offers booklet printing. If only I'd known earlier, I might have just gone and ordered some to put the intangible into tangible remembrance. It would have been amazing having glossy print outs of custom made booklets. I like the way this website offers you the flexibility to custom design your booklets to reflect the theme and setting of a particular event or occasion. Really worth looking into if you ask me .... 

For now, here's hoping that you've enjoyed looking at these amateur-ish recordings of dreams, passions, hopes and fleeting glimpses of the past. 


Toodle loos !!!
