Seagulls in London

The sounds and smells of London.
I had forgotten how delightful it can be to work in central London, Covent Garden in my case, surrounded (within easy walking distance) by art galleries, museums, Buckingham Palace, the river Thames, dozens of cafes, restuarants, clubs, pubs, boutiques, and the street performers in the old market square.

If I wasn't walking so much, I could get fat - French patisseries and artisan bread shops abound, and the aroma of good coffee wafts on to the streets (no, NOT Starbucks!).
It still seems strange to hear the squawk of seagulls circling overhead, but of course, nowehre is very far from the sea on this island!

It hasn't rained in 3 whole weeks. Cold, yes, but damp, no.
As long as you have the right clothes on (layers) the cold is fine. It's the damp I don't like.

It's gorgeous. Winter = cold. But it is beautiful.
