Long Tall Sally

I'm planning to head down south to Frankfurt next week - it's been too long since I've last had a beer with my buddy Phil (he's been studying there for a year now), and I'm also planning to visit Heidelberg and the Odenwald with my friend Kaitlyn, who'll be visiting Germany for the first time.

Bed Of Roses

Richmond.

June 2011.

This wonderful cottage with its perfectly kept garden is located opposite Ham Common. To the right of the house there's a footpath that leads to Ham House, which is another nice place you should visit if you're in the area. National Trust members don't need to pay an entrance fee.

I just got back from a date with Sophie, the girl I made apple pie with last month (making apple pie is my preffered activity for a first date - it's totally innocent, but the girl is at my place anyway, so I just have to go with the flow). We went to one of our favourite restaurants, and after dinner we drove down to the Elbe River to enjoy the sunset - there's a development site from which you've got a magnificent view of the Elbphilharmonie concert hall. Before I left to go on the date, I had put two beers in a cool bag and hidden them behind the passenger seat so we could drink them while watching the sunset... she told me it was a romantic thing to do. I've been wooing this girl for two months now and I love how she's not in any hurry.

Glide Gently

The River Thames.

Richmond. June 2011.

Glide gently, thus for ever glide,

O Thames! that other bards may see,

As lovely visions by thy side

As now, fair river! come to me.

Oh glide, fair stream! for ever so,

Thy quiet soul on all bestowing,

'Till all our minds for ever flow,

As thy deep waters now are flowing.

(William Wordsworth)

Who Says You Can't Go Home

I spent twenty years trying

to get out of this place

I was looking for something

I couldn't replace

I was running away from the only thing

I've ever known

(Bon Jovi)

Days

Dungeness, Kent.
Abandoned boats.

June 2011.

Days I'll remember all my life

Days when you can't see wrong from right

I bless the light

I bless the light that shines on you

(Ray Davies - Days)

We used to head down to Rye and Winchelsea Beach many times on weekends, but if it hadn't been for a fellow blogger, I wouldn't have known about Dungeness. It was a foggy Sunday morning - Dungeness wouldn't have looked half as good if it had been sunny. 

Have a nice day.
