WE WENT TO LONDON


London senses, emotions and feelings:

buses, crammed too tightly with people, pushing through narrow roads

 axis whirring past, zipping by, caught in life's hurries


heavy, deep and warm winds pulling by in the underground tube station


books to read and tea to sip in between stops


click, clack of heels, a whiff of perfume, a dash of rain


watching people live their complex lives


pink taxis (and London in general) that make me very excited

birds twittering sweetly in trees


photographing the bustle and business and loveliness of everything


We went to London last week.  To say I had a good time would be an understatement; and one of the many highlights was finding and photographing a spectacular pink taxi. ;)

  2. AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! You're so lucky, m'dear to live only a day trip away from one of the cities half {no 3/4} of the blogosphere girls dream of visiting {and I for one am especially interested as they are filming Sherlock there...and of course, I would love to have a cream tea with you ;)}.
    Your stills are just breath-taking, m'dear, and your words make me swoon.
    lots of love | grace

    Darling, you made my love for London a little bit more real. That looks fantastic, and I hope to visit there some day. And that taxi is enough reason for day-made.

  10. Okay, I am so jealous! Visiting London is one of my biggest dreams! and these are flippin' gorgeous girl! That taxi is probably the coolest taxi ever. and Screwtape Letters is on my to-read list for this year. I lovelovelove anything to do with C.S. Lewis (actually I am working on a paper on his life right now!)
    these are just essence of loveliness!

  14. Don't be jealous, don't be jealous, don't be-- AUGH, oh. my. word.

    I shouldn't be jealous, I live in Hawaii, for goodness sakes, but all I ask is that next time you go, fetch me from hawaii and stuff me in your bags. Please.

    Ok, I'll stop. That pink taxi is awesomeness, and though I profess to slightly disdain the color, I admit, taxis look good in pink. And your writing is so, so good. Epitome of atmosphere. I do love it.

    Oh, and I'm craving sugar. Thanks for the picture of the scrumptious looking cupcake. ;)

    How are you doing? Well, I hope. I have not read screwtape letters yet, but all my siblings recommend it highly and it's written by C. S. Lewis which means I must read it. I just finished Out of the Silent Planet by C. S. and liked it greatly. Have you read it?

    Ok, so we're clear, next time you go to London, you're stuffing me in your bag. Don't worry, I'll loose some weight before then, I'll be light as a feather. ;) Ehm, right-o.

    "click, clack of heels, a whiff of perfume, a dash of rain" Such a good line.

    You are coolness. Ok, I'll go. My writing is getting sincerely odd.
    Love,
    Rebekah

  24. I've just been to the British Museum on a school trip, and I remember that visit (and past visits) very fondly. London is quite the city, don't you think?
