So when I saw Tara's new meme/theme/gallery, and realised that this week she wants photos of Beauty, I ended up deciding to post this:
It was taken on my phone last Saturday, so it's not the world's best picture (it was taken by me, so it was never going to be the world's best picture anyway!) but it reminds me that even here, in the centre of London, surrounded by more than 7 million people, there is beauty. I love the the sunset and the tree and the crocuses, and L dancing carefully so that she doesn't tread on them, and then the fact that you can see the rows of Victorian houses and the fifteen stories of hideousness that is the hospital and you realise that yes, this is London, and I will miss it.
Oh, and ps, I wanted to post this one too,
because L asked me to take its picture so that she could remember that although it looks purple, inside it's "lello". And I realised that I haven't really looked at a crocus in years. And I should.

The rest of the amazing photos in the Gallery are here!!
I'm a Londoner too and I love my crocus.

ReplyDeleteI was in hairdressers today and reading Red Mag (I think it was - I managed quite a few whilst there having roots done!!) and saw you mentioned in an article!! Famous person on my blog list! x Don't feel too melancholy about leaving London - you will adore Scotland. London is great, I love it and I go quite often as my son lives there, but I love the freedom of Northumberland with the rolling hills of Scotland in the distance...... PS lovely pictures
ReplyDeleteLove London really. Sometimes you can find the lovlieness in the most unexpected of places.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo. x

ReplyDeleteLulu - hello! I'm feeling very in love with London at the moment. I think I will really miss it when we're gone. You will have to keep me up to date!
ReplyDeleteMad Mummy - interesting... we're up to Scotland tomorrow (after I go to a hen night tonight...eek!) so will have to see how spring is springing up there.
Iota - thank you!
George's mum - I think we're all sorted now aren't we? Just off to find a jiffy bag...
Diney - I know! I'm famous! (well, only amongst the hairdressing population now, as I imagine that edition (which I think was Feb's) is now mostly in recycling bins nationwide (not mine, clearly, I'm keeping it!). And thanks for the positive words about Scotland. I know it's going to be great but I'm not very good at change!
BiB - you've not got long before you're back now have you?
Hayley - thank you!
Never been to London, but would love to visit someday. I love traveling. The pic of your daughter dancing in the flowers is beautiful! And the close up of the purple crocus is just gorgeous. I love the way my kids always make me notice things that would pass me by otherwise.
ReplyDeleteOrganic Motherhood - they're amazing aren't they? I see so much stuff when I'm with them because they see it first.
ReplyDeleteOh, and Mad Mummy - there were crocuses in Edinburgh!!!
