Given that I am working in the Home Office (on a contract naturally) - I get to walk over Westminster Bridge every day. I seem to need to act like a tourist on a regular basis - by taking pictures of Parliament with good sunsets behind it. This is one of those... will add some more shortly.

The chaps vying for the Friday shirt award
Paul, Chris and Paul vying for Friday shirt of the week award
Paul in the red shirt won.... needless to say I was gutted.

Wandering around the Embankment after work - inspired by H V Morton "In Search of London"
Bridget had a leaving do at work a week or so ago and so I had a wander around. The walk was inspired by the book that I have been reading for a number of weeks. A travel writer, H V Morton, writing in the 1950's about post war London.
The author has an ability to find nuggets of information and bring to life London throughout the ages. One chapter deals with walking down the Embankment - so I decided to do the same and take a few photos of the statues, building and flowers (fabulous swathes of vibrantly coloured (colored - US ed) tulips.
I was so struck by them that we both went to London on Easter Saturday to do a much more extended walk

Wandering around London on Saturday during Easter weekend 2014
After the wander after work (which strangely is a laster post than this one) we (Bridget and I) decided to go on a much longer walk to see the blooming tulips and varied statues on the Saurday between Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
Here is what we saw: With thanks to H V Morton for the idea
