Another reason why I love London....

I was too early to meet friends for dinner the other night so popped into One New Change, a new(ish) shopping centre next to St Pauls Cathedral. The shops were ok, nothing exciting but quite a nice place to shop if you're in the area. I was about to leave when I noticed the lift went up to the 6th floor of the building so I jumped in to see what was up there & I was greeted with this....
Wow! Thankfully there weren't many people around & I happened to time it perfectly with a bit of a sunset. Unfortunately I only had my little point & click camera but I can't wait to head back with my Lumix to get some proper snaps when there's a full on sunset.
 
I loved this reflection of the church on the side of the building & the picture on the right really reminds me of Mary Poppins for some idea. My little jelly lenses were definitely a good buy to make some snaps a bit more interesting.
I'm really chuffed with the snap below with the London Eye & the OXO tower in the background. I don't get to see enough of London from this height, I might see what other buildings have viewing areas of the skyline.
On my way back down in the glass elevator (no I'm not Willy Wonka) I loved this reflection in the walls of the shops. Also, as if the evening hadn't been good enough, I met with my mates & when I ordered an ale it was brought to me in a proper metal tankard! I'm so ladylike I surprise myself sometimes!

The Culture Vultures swoop in on London pt2

Image
The next day we awoke to beautiful blue skies & sunshine. I don't usually post about what I wore (hence the crappy lighting & dodgy background) but I loved the fact I could be so colourful & sunny. Bring on the permanent better weather when I dress like this all day & every day! Adam & I met the gang & we all headed to the British Museum. Colin & Sue had tickets to see Grayson Perry (which we'd seen before) so when they went into the show we walked around the other displays. I couldn't resist getting another photo of Alan Measles on the back of his bike basking in the sunshine as well as a photo of part of the Hajj exhibition. I don't think they could have put two more different shows on at the same time! As we were walking through another room I just stopped dead in my tracks when I saw a really long display cabinet containing 'Cradle to Grave' by Pharmacopoeia (more info on it here ). It's been a while since I loved a piece o...

hope you had an egg-celent time!

Sorry for the dad joke I just couldn't resist! Hope y'all had a lovely Easter either with family, friends or mountains of chocolate! We managed two out of the three so can't be bad! Ma&Pa got us Easter eggs with the wedding countdown on (as if we could forget!) Sunday we went to Adam's parents & just relaxed. It was just the R&R we needed. They treated me to a Kinder Egg & I whiled away the time making my jigsaw & nibbling the choc. We gave Jill&Keith a box of Dairy Milk & then helped them along the way with eating it. Today we're seeing my side of the family & then it's back to work. Argh! Where did that long weekend go?! Ttfn x

March Photo A Day Challenge Pt2

Image
Here's my final set of marchphotoaday snaps. They're completely out of order for some reason but enjoy anyway! * Green - in Westfield I decided to tuck into a salad from Tossed I love their branding & fake grass everywhere! * A Corner Of Your Home - although Adam always insists this is his seat it's my special corner I like to curl up in * Funny - Steve treated the office to egg sweets, they weren't particularly funny but the amount of sugar in them meant the afternoon flew by! * Before / After - this was day 1 of my Illustrator course so I clicked at the start & the end of the day. * Delicious - lunch from Leon - yum! * Kitchen Sink - this is me carrying everything but the kitchen sink to my course! * Key - my key to the city, I'd be lost without my oyster card. * Your Name - courtesy of Tatty Devine! * Moon - not quite the moon, just a street lamp shining through the blossom but it was cloudy that night * Trash - need I say more?! * Feet - my feet * Where...
