May in London


It's been a while since I've posted something.

In the meantime I was back in South Africa for a planned 6 days that turned into a lovely 14 days break because of the sudden ash cloud that drove the british air space to a halt.

These two weeks have made such a difference to the weather and scenery in London. Gone are the long dark days of constant bone-chilling rain. This year's record cold winter is forgiven and out of the picture. England is breathtakingly beatiful. Everyone seems to have a smile on their faces, a picnick basket in their hands and on a mission to sit in the colourful parks.

The days are lighter for longer and I'm making the most of this. During my lunch break I sit in the park on the soft green grass. Under my favourite tree I listen to music, eat a sandwich and watch people pass by. They all seem so peaceful and relaxed.
