March for Europe
Today, I bore witness again to an incredible, massive show of peace and unity, following Pride that was held last week.

London’s first snow of the season (and lots of deer)

London from the Sky (Garden)
The views from the top of the sore thumb that is the Walkie Talkie are grand. Tickets are free but must be booked in advance. Much better than having to burn a Shard-shaped hole in my pocket for a glimpse of how flat London really is, and how drab its flats are. Still, it's
