The view up there

On Friday 3 July 2009 Dazza and I flew from London to Prague for a weekend with old friends. We were due to arrive at 9pm, and as we approached Prague we descended through layers of black, gold and pink cloud which revealed brilliant last bursts of sun. It felt like we watching an incredible, completely natural performance.

Abney Park

On a sunny Saturday in January we wandered through Abney Park, in Stoke Newington, north London. The Park was a cemetery until the 1970s but nature is now reclaiming the graves, stone statues and the abandoned chapel. These days Abney park is used by families, elderly couples, solitary souls, and film crews.

Air Travel 2008

When you live in London, England and your family is located in Vancouver and Ottawa, Canada, to see them you need to fly. A lot.

Last summer we flew Air Canada, Westjet and Zoom (which folded a month or two later). The longest flight was Zoom-ing from London to Vancouver. It’s a flight that sees you leave at lunchtime and arrive mid-afternoon 10 hours later, having been strapped into a small chair for almost the length of the journey (except for bathroom breaks).
