My lovely friends who have been hosting me in their Angel abode are leaving London. I bought them this book to forever remind them of the beauty they are to leave behind.
The funny thing is, I recognise this side to London, accepting it as the reality of this mad city. But these days I have been feeling pinkinshly positive about the place. Sunshine...moonlight...good times...etc. It's the great little thing about couchsurfing the city during the summer - you end up discovering a whole bunch of new neighbourhoods. The canal has become my second home once again. Cycles to Victoria Park, street beers in Haggerston, always a little nip into Broadway Market.
While it's already August, it's still summer. Therefore I continue to soak it up, enjoy the long days and rejoice at how far we are from Christmas.
