What I miss about London


It was with great sadness that we said farewell to London earlier this year, at least in so far as we no longer have our own 'spot' there - just very fond memories of several years living in this vibrant and exciting city. Some of my favourite London things are those which are not well known to visitors - these are mostly around West London.

The Thames and its various inhabitants......


The magnificent Chiswick House with the very impressive rejuvenation of the grounds still work in progress.....


Allotments - where flat dwelling gardeners can grow their own - fruit, flowers, and vegs. This was ours for a short while, and we are so happy to have left it in such good hands......








Richmond Park - an everchanging oasis in which one can spread out a bit!







What about two tiered bicycle parking at Liverpool Street station?


And food........ from farmers' markets.... to barrows..... to 'ready to eat' everything...... including 'proper' hamburgers with beetroot - or whatever else you choose.......

As ever doors are a favourite - here are some of the gems near the river at Strand on the Green...
