This is what the Victorian train station at the bottom of my street looks like in the 21C. I love walking at night - and its like a new hobby for me. You see the world in a different way, the light is different, the sounds the whole feel of the city - and the wildlife, it always surprises me how many foxes I see (there isn't one in this picture - more's the pity) but they have really adapted to urban life in the same way as the seagulls (who rarely seem to venture down to the beach these days). But its a week for cities, Brighton, Lewes (not technically a city) Winchester then Edinburgh and I can't wait to travel there tomorrow. But I was thinking earlier how much I miss London and I am definitely going there over the Christmas break. Its not everyone's idea of a good trip but I love the buzz; the galleries and the theatres but also the river and the bridges, Putney, Chelsea, Battersea, Westminster... a stroll along the South Bank, the Tate Modern. But then its cities, I love them and New York best of all. I will definitely be going back there after this blog comes to a close - and here is a New York song.
