Best Primary school in the land!

Wow... what a celebration. So proud of my girl! Sometimes difficult to know whether it is a primary school or an art gallery.

Street art

A mini dose of street art from this morning's walk to the Post Office. The Duke and Duchess - love or hate...? For me, it's the former.

tomto goes rural

Pigs, chickens, lambs, cows, apple orchards, wild flowers and converted barns. It all makes for a good break from the grit of London...

Boris bikes

It seems my latest top idea for a fun-filled Saturday spent with visitors to London is to put them atop a Boris bike and see the sites. Last Saturday was no exception and we happily meandered our way through the City, St Paul's and Spitalfields. Finding the retro Casio watches was a highlight. Anyone else remember trying to set the fastest star/stop on the stopwatch...? No? Maybe that was just me. Anyway, it's a pretty cool watch and reminds me of good times as a kid.

Summer garden special

Well done Mum for making such a stunning garden. I've been spending much time at home working in the garden recently. I think the pics below explain why... I also had a pretty amazing weekend with friends cycling around London on Boris bikes. A few photos will follow later

Alfie and the Cally Festival

I've loved having a weekend in London. After watching the Gay Pride marches, we wandered the length of Marylebone High Street and bumped into Alfie. Isn't he handsome! BBQ, a new sewing machine and London's newest graffiti. All good...







Gay pride...

Wow... it seems London's streets are constantly being marched along. This weekend saw Gay Pride take to the capital's cobbles.
