Photo of the Day No.32 - Fifteen

Dinner at Jamie Oliver's Fifteen Restaurant, near Shoreditch and Old Street in London. Very Italian very unusal, but extremly tasty. No we didn't see Jamie.


PS I know my Photo of the Day are not exactly always awe inspiring, but I think I have come to the conclusion that my Photo of the Day will be a mix of my photography development and events/dos/happenings of our life in London (what remains of it)

Photo of the Day No 28 & 29 - Moving ... yes again!

What can I say for 2 days I lived with STUFF, lots of STUFF. We've already shipped 25 boxes home, so said STUFF, where it came from I don't know. Thank heavens most of this was given away as its not coming with us, to our new place, or home to Australia. Whew.

Photo of the Day No.25 - Anzac Buscuits

These are the easiest buscuits ever to make, even without the correct measuring tools I still managed to make them tasty. They are called ANZAC buscuits because they Australian wives, mothers and sister used to make them and ship them over to the ANZAC soldiers in Gallipoli and on the Western front during the WWI. Of course you knew that ... !

Photo of the Day No.24 - Marvellous Maristela



Mari was my model for the day, I am brushing up on my portrait photography and we headed over to Leadenhall Markets to take some photos. Mari brought out the portrait photographer in me, and I the supermodel in her. This is just one of my favs.

Photo of the Day No.23 - The Randomness of London


Excuse the bluriness, was not prepared and didn't have time to get my proper camera out. This was taken near Cornhill and Leadenhall streets, no spectators, no cameras, no signs, just a marching band passing through the streets with these little old men at the back, one with an Aussie flag and one with a Kiwi flag. Why? Well me thinks for Australia day, but we may never know.

Photo of the Day No.22 - Chicago

"I know a Girl", who is "A Little Bit of Good" and a little bit of "Class" and she has a "Funny Honey" who she said is "All I care about". She could do a "Tap Dance" and the "Cell Block Tango", but she cried ok "I'll be good to Mama", but "I can't do it alone", it will be better if its"Me and My Baby"! It was so "Razzle Dazzle" and "All that Jazz"!

Photo of the Day No.21 - Alas this is beyond exciting....

But, we move out next week and our cupboard is a little full...sort of. However, despite that this photo will remind me of the yummy food...hummm the Dorset porridge...Bistro gravey...um no it will just remind me that I should have eaten this long ago!

Photo of the Day No.20 - To the Right..

Is the sign for the exhibition at the British Museum for Moctezuma, which Mark and I visited tonight after work. This was to explore the history and highlights of the great Mexican ruler, his life and times in the 15th century and how it all came to crumble with the Spanish arriving in search of the New World.

Photo of the Day No.19 - Reduction in Chaos


Certainly a slightly different picture from Photo of the Day No. 1 when chaos ensued and we had Lisa's Living room nightmares. Now its just a little sad and rather empty.

Photo of the Day No.17 - Hyde Park Italianate Gardens

The sun was shining, what better excuse to get outside for a wander around London. With both exhibitions I wanted to see unavailable we made do with a walk through a family fest that was walking through Hyde Park.
Ducks, geese, pigeons, swans, skaters, boarders, bikes, buggies, joggers, walkers, footballs, couples, families - it was all there. This photo here is of the Italianate Gardens towards the Notting Hill end of the park.
Followed up with a lovely Sunday Roast at The Prince Albert on Gloucester Road before some shopping in Harvey Nichols whilst Mark went home to watch the football.

Photo of the Day No.14 - From Russia with Love

A gift from my friend Jade who went to Russia for Christmas and New Years. We had them out before we went to Sadler's Wells to watch the Matthew Bourne "Swan Lake" as a treat evening for her birthday, and watching the hot dancers was so "present" enough!!

Photo of the Day No.13 - Angel

It snowed amazingly today, what a nice suprise, but rather than another snow shot, this little angel Darcey gets my vote as my photo of the day. Ain't she precious?

Photo of the Day No.12 - Lost on the tube


It appears I am losing my way, as my time here dimishes so does my ability to tell which tube can I take to get home. The Northern Line was unaccessible the way I normally go home, so I went to take the Victoria line one stop and swap - to save time.

Turns out I went the wrong way, added 15 mintues to my journey. I blame the lavendar oil fumes, I had just had a massage. Sigh.
