London Details

We ate a lot of salad in London, since we had been too nervous to eat it in India.

The vegetables there were wonderful, but we only ate them cooked.

In London, a brisk wind batted the clouds through a blue sky.

A white on white window near Great Ormond Street.

I was walking to the Persephone Bookshop on Lamb's Conduit Street

where I bought four books, even though I'm rather fierce about carrying heavy luggage.

I particularly recommend Tea with Mr.Rochester by Frances Towers.

If you don't know Persephone Books, go there now.

What a door! Window frame, railings, fanlight, side alley.

The very apotheosis of door-ness.

This doorway with primroses and black plastic bin-bag looks as if someone lives there.
