A scrapbook for my life
It’s a yew tree, in Runnymede. Only twenty minutes from where we live but we had never known of it before yesterday when we were looking for somewhere to walk. We did a beautiful circular walk in the spring sunshine, which took in the tree, the old Benedictine abbey ruins, and a short section of …
Paddington is not an area of London that you would go to unless you had a very good reason. Yes there are some impressive properties, some nice Georgian terraces and a lot of money. But on the whole the impression you come away with is that of small seedy hotels, transient lives lived behind well …

I have an odd fondness for Villiers Street with a couple of significant memories …
A walk from Waterloo to King’s Cross at a time of year when London is arguably at its best.
