It’s nice to go for a swim in an open-air pool when you’re on holiday. Y’know, Costa del Sol, the Algarve, Holborn…. It was high time to take Eva on her first swim and I thought an open-air pool might … Continue reading →

Richmond Park – 21/08/12

Posted on August 23, 2012 by katese11

A couple of things distinguish Richmond Park from other parks. 1) It’s big. It is, in fact the biggest enclosed space in London. 2) It is the only place so far where someone has actually vocalized what I’m sure many … Continue reading →

LolliBop – 18/08/12

Posted on August 20, 2012 by katese11

Brockwell Park take 2 – 10/08/12

Posted on August 10, 2012 by katese11

It’s always risky to go back to old hurts. You just know you’re opening yourself to being hurt again, just like every time Rachel forgives Ross only to be once again told that they were on a break. Heart-wrenching stuff. … Continue reading →
