Pod is found




Some time ago I spotted that the London Eye had lost one of its pod.


Had it fallen down or had someone stolen it?


Yesterday morning I was happy to see it floating in the river.


The eye will be complete again. Hurray!

Glorious morning

It has really turned dark now in the mornings. When I leave in the morning to get my train it is still dark! In a way it is rather depressing.

However I'm usually quickly cheered up again by the beautiful sunrises I get to see. Some days the mist is majestically sweeping across the fields. Other days the light is fantastically golden. Like yesterday morning.

By the time I reached London the sun had just risen and the colours were just amazing. A fab time to be travelling down the river Thames.

Engagement party




Our cunning plan has succeeded ;-)
Our bestman and brides maid got engaged a couple of weeks ago! Today we celebrated their engagement with a visit to our old faithful Crooked Surgeon, which isn't so old and faithful anymore as they have changed to into the chain Slug and Lettuce.

As custom has it we had to get them an engagement present. Their engagement took place in Dublin so two engraved Guiness pint glasses were the obvious choice.

The happy couple seemed to think so too..


However, I have a sneaking suspicion that the bride-to-be likes the box the most...
