Christmas
Currently travelling back from a wonderful Christmas up in the Swiss mountains. Thoroughly spoilt by beautiful scenery, lots of snow, awesome skiing and some great nights out with new friends. Bring on New Year’s Eve!
Commuting
WARNING: Rant
I’ve ranted online before about commuting in London and the misery that is ‘other people’. The journey to work requires courage, patience, calm and some good humour!
As an example let me summarise my ‘encounters’ this morning plus some handy hints:
A Fresh Start
I seem to switch the way I write online and blog platforms fairly frequently, having moved from WordPress to Posterous earlier this year and now back to WordPress again.
Anyway, this is a chance for a fresh start coming into 2012, and hopefully a better way for me to share news and photos with anyone who stumbles across my corner of the web!
Plus I’m really looking forward to using this site to share some of the fabulous writing and photography I come across online! It will help inspire and cajole me to take more (and better) photos on my travels and in London.
Parliament
I never get tired of the London skyline, whichever way I look I see something of interest or something new I haven’t spotted before. Coming out of the London Aquarium, I was blown away by a combination of Parliament and the wintry sunset behind it.
This photo is currently my iPad and MacBook wallpaper and I’m rather proud of it!
St Paul’s Cathedral
I have lived in London for over 5 years and I had never climbed St Paul’s Cathedral, unbelievable. The climb gave me a whole new perspective on the city I have lived in for the past 5 years!
Rosswald
I’ve rather fallen behind on my posting on this blog (if anybody reads it!) but above summarises rather well a perfect weekend I spent in Switzerland at the end of January. Wonderful weather & good snow.
Stonehenge
There are many places in England I have never been to and should, and many others I have been to many times and still love going back! Stonehenge is one of them; whatever the weather it is always impressive!
Idyllic
After a very successful and rewarding 2010, I spent a glorious few days between Christmas and New Year in the mountains of Switzerland, specifically the mountain village of Rosswald in Valais.
There had been 15cm of snow the day before we arrived, on top of the 75cm that was already on the ground. This meant digging our way to the chalet’s front or back door was a challenge!
On the morning of the 30th December we were treated to a lovely sunrise and I knew I had to get outside with my camera, despite the -10C temperatures. This is a chalet a little walk from our own and as you can see, everything was sparkling red, white and blue!
