gorgeous day yesterday. did the walk from woolwich to waterloo. so many sights. south bank so colourful and varied. contrast of the ancient and modern. we just need this weather to stick around a bit longer to enjoy it all at its best.
That’s a walk I’m planning to do. Maybe start a bit further east, to get the full extent of the Thames.
Fab!
It’s finally summer here, too!
I just finished my assignment, and now I’m laying low until the Pan-Am Games are over!
Have a good summer!
