We shared a can of beer after work and went for a walk in the cool evening air, Wednesday last. Herself lives near the old London Docks, so we threw some shapes down through Wapping by way of Shadwell.

This here is Shadwell Basin. It’s a beautiful little spot. I’m sure you will agree. The water was as calm as glass and you could actually hear yourself think for once – a rare luxury around these parts. It is by calling on these little occasions of serenity that you will keep sane through the many more frantic and maddening moments that make up life in a city such as London.

A new week starts tomorrow, here’s hoping it’s a good one.
