Thanks for visiting - I'm guessing J & V?

Stuff on Walls Hong Kong

I love the mixture of the airconditioners, banner advertising a gallery, bi lingual street name and road marking. There is a story in there somewhere......

Stuff on walls

Whilst walking through Whitehall in London recently, on the way to a meeting, I came across this plaque. It made me feel quite "homesick".

Mists and mellow fruitfulness

This morning I woke up to fog - quite rare here. It had a wonderful effect on all the spiders webs attached to our balcony, dripping them with dew. It was the first time I had seen this in the five years I have lived here. I was suddenly extremely homesick for an English autumn, with leaves to kick and soft focus days, damp smells and piles of fallen chestnuts. I also seriously pine for trees bare of leaves and the promise of winter.

Today, by contrast, after the fog had lifted, we were able to have a long walk by a still ocean in glorious sunshine. So I really can't complain.

Thanks for stopping by. I have had little opportunity to write during our trip to the UK, but here are some photos.
