Here I am
This weekend saw us up in a small village just out of Leeds and a camera full of photos that need downloading. It also saw some lovely charity shop treasures, green and lovely riverside walks, a few treats for the garden and a lot of rain and cold. The portfolio site is now ready for…

Evening walks on the Heath
And a lament for the Greek shop of Dartmouth Park I said to Kevin this time I wanted to walk on the Heath every day – and not just get so used to it being on my doorstep and I would simply forget, or be too lazy as I was in the past. So yesterday…

Little collections
Before we left I organised a few house warming gifts to self to ensure we had some personal touches to make the house feel like home when we arrived. Having white walls and high ceilings means I’m more in love with our new home than I think I’ve ever been with a house I’ve been…

London, sweet London
Oh it’s so good to be back. Better than we’d ever imagined in fact. We’ve walked and walked and walked and walked. Through Soho, from here to Camden, back to Belsize Park, up to Hampstead, around the Heath, through the City, up to Hackney and from here to South End Green countless times. We’ve walked…

Incommunicado
I have a slight suspicion my blog has been broken into and I hope I’ve fixed it now. So I’ve just spent half this beautiful Sunday afternoon online, borrowing files from other sites because I can’t hook my little lacie drive up to Steve’s pc – a long and boring story. But it’s too beautiful…

At the airport
Two hours till we board. Off to play with Anna Sui cosmetics before we decide what to eat. Probably toast and peanut butter for me and sweet toast for K and AÂ with lime juice all round. Or parma ham pizza. And lime juice. Today we went to Little India -Â lots of terribly exotic (to me)…

Muji food
Had to go back to take photos. This is exactly how I like food packaging if it must be packaged; clinical and uniform. Fresh produce is another matter altogether of course, so I also love brown paper bags, butter paper and string. There’ll be Borough market and the shop in Belsize Park opposite the tube…

Yesterday’s photos
I don’t appear to have taken photos today although I really should have taken some in Muji – the food, oh the Muji food! And we had a perfect lunch at Paragon – which I must say has been the most pleasant place on Orchard Road so far. Kinokuniya was overwhelming– it being the biggest…

Singapore
Well, we all survived the flight – in fact Astrid slept from take-off until they turned the breakfast lights on and we’ve been in Singapore a few hours and she’s asleep again. I’ve got to buy an adaptor to plug the laptop in so no photos yet – the juice on this might run out…
