born and bred in London from immigrant parents (Devon and Calcutta), i just can't resist chipping in on why i love this city and am always excited to see what it will offer up next...
more than 2000 yrs of constant flux with communities springing up, leaving impressions on a landscape before fading to make way for the next wave to occupy the space left behind.. the endless layer upon layer of life in motion.. the incredible contrasts of abject poverty rubbing shoulders with unfeasible wealth and priviledge and every shade in between.. the tangible history of empires past and present that exist in the architecture and open spaces.. the emotional scope offered by the everyday drama created by the sheer mass of people condensed into one space - good and bad.. the dirt.. the beauty.. the sheer scale of this enormous, sprawling, organic mass.. and, oblivious to it all, relentless in it's tidal rhythm, like breathing in and out - the river that runs through it.
the late night kebab shop at the end of my road is pretty good too

what a lovely note - thanks for posting pajamas!
hoping to get the other nest-maker out for a drink soon. she reckons south drinks is more on her way home so when you're up and about, let me know and i'll bring her down (and maybe pick up the basket too?)
can still taste those lovely cookies of yours GinaG!

it did make for a real fuzzy warm glow - lovely folks to ride with, great moments taking the goodies in to share, cracking pics and as gina says, what a result for less than 10days prep! real testament to the generosity of the donators, the dedication of the organisers and finishing with dr pepper flavoured beer and chips! what more could one ask for?!

mind you, if there ever was a Lance photo to post, surely this is the one? no bulge for mitre-tester but more on that frame than most ladies will ever be lucky enough to experience in the flesh, with or without his full portion of spuds
