Ram In A Thicket

I like that Room 56 at the museum is always open. It means that my favourite object in the place is always on display. There's no specific reason as to why it's my favourite - I just think that it is incredibly beautiful, and from such a rich, advanced, civilised culture as well. For more info about the Ram In A Thicket, have a look at its entry on the British Museum website.

Christ Church Turnham Green

When I first moved to the area, I thought that Turnham Green and the church were just wonderful. Then winter happened and there was never enough light or the weather was too crappy to take good photos in. I'd waited 8 months to be able to take this photo!

Shopping for Chupa Chups

Chupa Chups are still called that in Italian. We explained to the lady at the coffee bar that they are also called Chupa Chups in English. It was a fun little conversation. On a technical note...my scanner is dusty.

Bus Stop

The 94 to Piccadilly Circus leaves from the bus stop on Bath Road. Sometimes I get that to work if I'm not in the mood to get the tube.

Zebra Crossing

Couldn't you just bounce off of them?

The Street Outside My Flat

I'd often use the last few frames of a roll of film just out the window at whatever was happening. Most of them look the same, some of them are out of focus, some blurred, some just really, really boring. So it took me a long time to realise that I really liked this one. Which I do.

Wrong Side of the Road

I'd been told horror stories about driving in Italy. Maybe it was just that we were in the countryside (the closest we got to a city was Assisi) but it was marvellous. Very little traffic, beautiful views and only minor freaking out by me on times when I forgot that most of the rest of the world actually drives on the right hand side of the road.

The night lights are on whichever road we took to get home from Bagno Vingnoni to Castelmuzio late at night. Even at night driving through Tuscany is just beautiful.

Not a paperless office

Honestly, it isn't ordinarily that messy. But then it wouldn't look as interesting clean, would it?

Best Day Ever

Food, wine, fantastic weather, romantic city and a close friend are the perfect recipe for an unimaginably relaxed, fun day out. I love Elyse, and I love Italy.
