Holiday out. Real world in.

Two weeks is just too short – I started getting depressed at the thought (yes, I know, I get depressed rather easily – I used to a cheerful person in an earlier life) of getting back to work. I did some of the things I wanted to and did not manage many others. Ditto about meeting people. Summer seemed to have come and gone in June – London was as chilly as ever, though the long long sunlight hours were just perfect for walking in the parks and finding benches in shaded spots to lie down on and read. Or just stare at the blue sky.

I hope to post notes and photographs at Itchy Feet very soon – I will keep updating this post s new posts come up on my travel blog). For now, a few photographs. Lesson learnt : lugging around a heavy-duty camera is not the best way to enjoy a city where the best way to get around is walk- and walk I did lots.

After Southbank, my favorite walk in London – by the side of the Tower Bridge…

The buskers and street performers only seem to get better and better…

The midsummer carnival at Chester…

Summer rain on the roses at Regent’s Park…

Punts at Cambridge waiting for a ride…
