Posted on July 20, 2016 by katese11

We’re one day in and I’m sporting one motherhecker of a sunburn, thanks to a 4.5 hr session in Myatt’s Fields this afternoon. The water was on intermittently – I think it was between 12:30 and 2 then again 3-5 … Continue reading →

Hilly Fields – 28/08/13

Posted on August 30, 2013 by katese11

You may already know this from the Facebook page, but yesterday, we made the epic trip from SE11 to SE12. It wasn’t as easy as it sounded. As any London geek knows, postcodes are ordered alphabetically rather than geographically, so … Continue reading →

A Whole New King’s Cross – 06/08/13

Posted on August 8, 2013 by katese11

Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Westfield Stratford – 29/07/13

Posted on July 29, 2013 by katese11

Remember watching the Olympics last year? Remember how shiny and finished Stratford looked? Well, forget it. It’s a construction site again, full of half-finished structures and flyovers to nowhere: Imagine driving along that, happily on your way to the Olympic … Continue reading →
