Last week's camera walk

Looking down, walking from Holborn tube station towards Somerset House. I’m trying to get out at least once a week with my camera, and I always start with an exhibition, as it’s a sure way to get me out of the house.

In one of the big majestic stairwells in Somerset House. I went to see the 24/7 A wake up call for our non stop world exhibition, which was interesting. In a nut shell: “With every moment seemingly an opportunity to connect and work, unrelenting pressure to produce and consume, sleep itself monitored and commodified, how we cope is one of the most urgent contemporary issues affecting us all.” I didn't take any pictures in there, I just wanted to give it my full attention, and take it all in.

Personally I’d be waiting in the sun, but each to their own.

Looking down on the Thames. Wondered what the water temperature would feel like compared to the pond. You’d drown if you tried to swim here though, as the river currents are so strong. And let’s not even think of how polluted it is.

Flapper.

Flutter.

This feels like too much of an ask, but I’m curious, who’s reading this blog? I have no idea who you are, and it would be so nice to hear a bit about you (all three of you - haha). Who are you, where are you, and is there anything you’d like to see more of here? Hope you have a great weekend!

Escape from the city

Back in October, me and the Oomster (sadly Mr Famapa couldn’t make it) drove up to Suffolk for a weekend away at our friends SA and Y’s new place. They’ve been dreaming about getting a little spot away from the city for ages, and finally last year it all fell into place. In no time whatsoever, SA fitted out the whole house (she’s an interior designer by trade, so no wonder), and I was all heart eyes, both inside the house and in the garden. We spent a couple of nights there, eating like kings, playing games and walking in the surrounding fields, saying hello to the occasional horse. I can’t wait to go back once the weather warms up, for as much as I love our pocket of London, getting away from it every now and again is a real treat.
