JUST BACK FROM... YORK


5TH MAY 2015

Before I get around to posting my guide to New York, here are some photographs from regular York, where I recently spent a night away to celebrate the one year anniversary of my aforementioned engagement.


LONDON: DIPPY, AND SOME RESTAURANTS



On a recent whistle-stop trip to The Natural History Museum (primarily to see Dippy - above) I was just as enamoured with the mosaiced floors as I was the exhibitions...


LONDON: SPRING 2015

Parma violet or candy floss? Pretty pastel houses on Bywater Street...

...magnolia + shuttered white houses...

...myriad teas at Fortnum & Mason...


...a beautiful sycamore skeleton...


...hot pink camellias in bloom...


...a new (old) book about 1950s London...

...the blue-grey roof of the Methodist Centre...

  ...another view of  Bywater Street...

...dreamy books at Taschen...
...smile-inducing street names...
...Westminster Abbey at sunset...

...an elegant doorway...
...the Natural History Museum (I must visit Dippy before he goes on his merry way)...
...and the Palace of Westminster on a sunny lunchtime.
