St Matthew’s Day at the Guildhall

by

This lunchtime I walked down to the London Guildhall to eat my lunch. When I arrived I could see some kind of event was in progress. Judging by the Rolls Royce limousines parked in the corner, the Lord Mayor was talking part. It turned out the event happening was the end of the annual St …

Freedom for Birth

by

A post here on behalf of (and in support of) my OH, Louisa, who attended the Freedom for Birth screening in Dalston last night, organised by One World Birth. Louisa took my x-pro1 along and took some really great photos (IMO). It was followed by a discussion with the audience involving a midwife, a doula …

The Swans of Verulamium Park with my X-Pro1

by

Look, I realise the title is rubbish… Never mind. Today we visited St Albans (more difficult than usual as the road to the M25 is being resurfaced). I decided to take along my X-Pro1.

London Wall by Tower Hill

by

So I should probably mention at the outset that the main offices of the firm I work for are on London Wall. A street in London named after the wall that used to surround the historic city of London. I hadn’t given it too much thought to be frank. Today I was looking for ideas …

Olympics Parade

by

Olympics Parade, a set on Flickr. Slideshow available through the “Olympics Parade” link under the block of pictures above. The official parade of British medallists and other competitors took place today in London, commencing near Bank, not far from where I work. I ventured down armed with my E-M5. Unfortunately I had forgotten the parade …

A walk through rural North London

by

The farmland where I photographed the wheatfield last week is part of Rectory Farm in Enfield. For a year or two it has lain fallow but this year it has been planted as an arable farm. I believe I once found a post on google stating it was a Dairy farm prior to the devastating …
