Memorials

They Had No Choice, it says on the Animals in War Memorial in Park Lane. Not that many of the fighting men had very much choice, either. Mr Cooper may have had more choice than most, and he made it from lieutenant to captain and lived to the age of 20. The Rush of Green is the last sculpture by Epstein and stands outside the Household Cavalry's barracks on Carriage Drive. It rushes from the fashionable shops and houses of Knightsbridge toward the green space of Hyde Park.

A Day in the Life

I was imitating Ann with this light misty pic in Kensington Park this morning, a slow-speed pan on the 'Snow Storm' in Hyde Park, and an evening view of the Bayswater Road.

Cemetery and Lights

Today we visited Ian and Tessa in Highgate and went to the cemetery. Then we took the Tube back to the West End, to Oxford Street in the sales and lights.

Kensington Things

Anish Kapoor's installation in Kensington Park, cars in the Science Museum, German chip shop in Hyde Park, and a skater outside the Natural History Museum.

If it's Hyde Park, it must be London

A German-themed food fest in Hyde Park. No snow in central London, but the Serpentine was frozen

Christmas Day

Sadie had so many prezzies we all had a turn at opening them.
