Ending 2022 on a lighthearted note.

I’ve been taking a relaxing break over Christmas so haven’t really thought about a theme for the last blog of 2022. So this is a bit of a mish-mash of images that I hope you might find interesting and amusing.

Delivering Christmas cards by hand I came across this doormat (it doesn’t take much to make me laugh this time of year) …

Mr Coot finding his way to the Barbican Centre by following the trusted yellow line …

Cute image of the year – proud mum …

Laid-back Bermondsey cat …

Nice architectural lighting on Fore Street …

Bonkers mural in my favourite restaurant Trattoria Brutto in Farringdon …

Impressive entrance to Ivy Asia …

And finally, one of my favourite restaurant desserts – Chocolate Bombe at The Ivy City Garden …

Add hot chocolate …

Wow, that was good …

It’s Christmas decorations time – let’s get in the mood!

Yes, it’s that time when I go out and about trying to capture a bit of decorative joy before the Festive Season begins in earnest.

And what better place to start than the stunning display at the Leadenhall Building, fondly known by all as The Cheesegrater …

I love the arch through the tree …

It’s also home to Emma Smith’s neon artwork We (2019).

We are alone …

We are all one …

Read all about the thoughts behind its design here.

Whilst there I enjoyed a rather lovely lunch at Bob Bob Ricard which is situated on the third floor …

The view from the lift …

Another beautiful piece of architecture, King’s Cross Station …
