Travel with us: London's calling

Jubilee celebration bunting

I've been sitting in front of my laptop for an hour trying to work on some lawyerly things but that's hard to do with The Clash's "London's Calling" in your head. I think it was a sign to finally put up some pictures of our day trips around this crazy city.

We've been here two months now. It's been a blink and you miss it kind of time; busy, exciting, and unsettling and I think i'm the better for it. Whilst we haven't seen a lot yet (something I do plan to change), what we have seen so far has been wonderful.

Here are a few pictures of our new home (at least for the next few years). The pictures are all a bit grey, which i'm afraid reflects the weather we've had for most of our time here so far. I wonder how the trees know that it's summer when the sun isn't out and it's not very warm. How do they know it's time to grow leaves and be green again? I'm sure they must do it grudgingly in Britain - as if they know they have to but they want you to know they're not happy about it. Anyways, if it continues to be gloomy, all is not lost. We are off to Paris in 6 weeks, the Amalfi Coast in Italy in 3 months, then Spain for a family wedding soon after. Life is good.
