* those big feet are andy’s. He also took these photos, but gave me permission to borrow them because I loved them so much.

Most of these photos are from my twitter account. I have been so slack at getting my camera out these past few months and all of these are from my iPhone. My days are happily spent pottering around in the city, in cafes & bars, on our balcony…. and of course in the office. The latter might sometimes be a bit of a bore if I didn’t enjoy (most of!) my colleagues company so much.

I love cities. I love everywhere, but I really love cities. On my lunch breaks I either get to go sit in the sun and people watch (and acquire more freckles, it would seem) or I get to mingle in the energy of the streets where the work crowd are out for lunch and the tourists are in dense clusters making good use of the current low exchange rate. I love getting to my train station and hearing all the Spanish being spoken. And I love getting my morning cup of black coffee from my happy Italian Barrista.

There were a few mornings a while ago when the sun wasn’t yet at it’s fullest and we’d wander into a local cafe/bar on the weekend to read the papers whilst sitting in the sun’s rays as they streamed through the window. When the time was as such that those rays would soon be hitting our balcony we took ourselves home. Our little neighborhood here in London is so good to us. We have a town center, a village and lots of other local cafes, bars, shops, parks and my beloved river path. We also have a bizarre fancy dress store whose window display is currently an obese Baywatch costume. Someone not only thought that up, they also made it.

Adios from my balcony, for now. I’ll be back soon with more images and energy from the London summertime & wherever else we find ourselves.
