Wednesday 26 December

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree

Tuesday 25 December

As an introvert, the holidays can be very overwhelming. Fortunately, my family knows that I need time and space to myself.

“…but it’s raining, raining in my heart

Tipping it down outside, but also dealing with the aftermath of yesterday’s events. This pic was taken on Saturday, but it sums up today’s mood perfectly.

Saturday 15 December

Don’t rain on my parade…

It has rained all afternoon, putting a real dampner on events.

The Green, Green Grass of Home

Hilly Fields, a local green space, as seen from the bus.

Leave a light on for me

YAY! The lighting ceremony was yesterday evening. It rained a lot this morning, which was not so nice as a commuter, but quite nice for pics.

Thursday 6 December

The Long and Winding Road

As we head towards the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere on 21 December, most of my morning commute is in the dark. The sun rises just before 8 o’clock these days.

Wednesday 5 December

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree

Every year, the city of Oslo sends a Christmas tree to the UK, as a token of gratitude for British support to Norway during WWII. This morning, it was in place in Trafalgar Square. The lighting ceremony must be imminent!

Tuesday 4 December

’Til the early morn…

Gorgeous light this morning! I wanted to stay outside and take pictures ALL DAY! But - sigh - work beckoned and I heeded the call.

Monday 3 December

Just Another Manic Monday

Busy - busy - busy! But at least the Post Office was open from 08:00, so most of my cards for family and friends who live outside the UK were duly dispatched!

Sunday 2 December

Christmas wrapping

Does anyone remember that song by The Waitresses?! It was released in 1982, probably before you young ‘uns were born! 😉

Saturday 1 December

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…

I spent the day outside London, in the company of friends and my lovely goddaughter. The crackling fire was welcoming after the wind and rain.

Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses

The statue of Boadicea / Boudicca is on the corner of Victoria Embankment and Westminster Bridge. I had to cross the Bridge on foot this evening, instead of by bus, because of some roadworks.

Trafalgar Square at 08:00 this morning. It was bright, sunny but chilly! I love this season.

It’s Westminster Bridge and the Houses of Parliament.
