Just popping in to see how the world is turning. I thought I’d throw in some images from a recent trip to london. We went there to see a play called The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Based on the book by Neil Gaiman, it was a stunning show, highly recommended. Being run at the Duke of York Theatre.
The trip was a great short break, I also visited the Cartoon Museum, and the display by Magnum photo’s at the Saatchi Gallery called America in Crisis. Both also worth the trip.
I always enjoy a stroll around London. Normally I’d pick an area to explore but this time we spread ourselves around a bit more.
Stay safe out there, things can change so quickly. But remember to enjoy the small things on the way.
I finally went and took some snow images, just before the thaw. A stroll with my wife to find the best local ideas.

We went for a walk once the weather was a bit quieter, took some shots of the remaining snow. It turns out we got out just in time, it was gone by Sunday. So now everything is getting back to normal and we all get back to work.
Whatever the weather where you are enjoy the view.
Although we are home in France and getting back to work, I will go post about the trip we have made and the places we have been. After a week of relaxing at Lake Balaton, Balatonfured we headed to Budapest. We had been told it was a beautiful city so had high hopes. We booked a hotel and spent a night and a day, trying to avoid the rushing around that normally comes with a short trip to a city. This trip we concentrated on Pest, walked around the town and visited the central market. A place full of peppers, paprika and spicy sausages. There was some other stuff I’m sure but can’t have been as good as the paprika.
The Chain Bridge, Budapest
The architecture is fabulous, I love to wander the streets with no place to go and soak up the atmosphere. The thing we both noticed was how so many cities seem to be getting homogenized, all the same names on the main streets and all the same knick-knacks on the cheap stalls. The people in the coffee shops were friendly, and once we figured out that we needed to order coffee american with milk, to get what we wanted everything fell into place. Gerbaud’s cake shop, great place to spend time watching the world go by. Spoons, a boat, cafe, restaurant. Another of the good places to eat, drink and to sit and watch. A deserted mall, in Budapest.
We did of course have a trip on the Danube on one of the boats, we got to see the Buda side of the river without the walking. All in all, it is a place I think we will visit again, for a bit longer, to explore more.
