hanami 2016, part 1

I just came back from Tokyo a day ago, and this is what I managed to drag back that isn’t food.

Thank goodness I was only going with a backpack. Who knows how many more gachas would have came with me otherwise.

More details and photos soon.

unexpected saturday

Initially booked up saturdays this month for artsy-fartsy stuff, it ended up getting bumped a couple of weeks later so decided to do a bit of London roaming….

 

wandering around west london

Lovely hot day with colourful festival

along the way towards regents park

you know a place is posh when the red phone boxes are left untouched

bluebells everywhere

tulips.. what more can I say

and getting warmer

I’m generally not overly keen on cars, but this one was eyecatching!

a lovely surprise…

I was all set to go to Penzance last weekend via first great western’s first class cabin sleeper train, the night riviera. But due to the incredible amount of rain and storms we’ve had this winter, many parts of the rail tracks were either underwater or swept away into the sea.

So I canceled everything, and decided to go sometime later this year instead.

Last night I came home to an unexpected parcel waiting for me….

The rail company sent this goodie bag, along with a lovely little note of apologies. I must admit I was very thrilled.
