Bio

The London I've been discovering is usually off the well-beaten track.I love the nooks and crannies and walking along the streets steeped in centuries worth of history. I'm fond of Zone 1 because that's where it all began centuries ago.

    September brings with it wonderful memories of conkers. As children, we would collect the conkers from local parks.
