summer
here is a man dressed up as summer:
he had quite an effect on people around him. click this picture for a big version to see people’s expressions:
the globe theatre
have you ever been to Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London ? you should do, especially when it’s free (like it was yesterday for Shakey’s birthday):
the inside is quite amazing (unless you stand in the middle in which case you get wet on rainy days):
and there was plenty of entertainment:
st george’s day
it was st george’s day yesterday. english people have a bizarre relationship with their nationality.
we have two versions of national pride – football hooligan nationalistic madness and handkerchief waving dancing craziness. i definitely prefer this latter version (though we experienced both yesterday on our trip to london)
flying hanky people:
HMS Belfast
esther and i had a daughter/dad day in london yesterday. after the Globe we went for lunch in a restaurant then we went to HMS Belfast.
there was lots of climbing up and down ladders and i got all confused on the kids quiz. it’s a bit of a weird thing to be a tourist attraction, especially for little kids, but it’s what esther wanted to do.
in the end she decided it was a grown-ups version of ‘soft play’.
daffodils
esther and jane in a daffodil field.

chair in a forest
there’s only so far that castors on the modern chair will take you. this one got grounded in the mud in the middle of this dark forest.

here’s page 76 of the paddington station sign book in the streets behind the station.
anglesey abbey
anglesey abbey is quite beautiful and well worth a visit if you are near Cambridge.

this is a life sized stencil graffiti. it was quite incredible to look at.
