Summer's Arrived

It looks like summer has found these isles at long last. The weather man is promising a whole week of sun. Pouring into the parks are English bodies of all shapes and sizes soaking up their vitamin D.

Sun

With so much rain lately we are all on the verge of suffering from SAD (seasonal affective disorder). The moment we get a glimpse of sunshine we race out to soak up every drop of it. Yesterday all of London was smiling, and ... we may even be lucky enough to have two days of leaving our brollies at home this week. Yahoo!!

Pretty Shortcut

A bit of respite from the rain and we're all out walking in the sun. This alley is a pretty shortcut down the side of the National Gallery into the back of Leicester Square. Seems that the gates are only open on weekdays though when it's used by people and pigeons alike.

Candy Floss

Candy Floss, Cotton Candy, FairyFloss, what ever you call spun sugar, can you believe it was a dentist who invented it? Yep William Morrison invented all sorts of things in his spare time. In 1897 he created the candy floss machine. Maybe he was looking for an endless supply of patients?
