You probably wish I would post some nice photos of the Borough of Richmond upon Thames, I can only assure you I'm keen to get back to that point. But it's not always that simple. Anyway, I took a friend out to Barnes Common to play about with some night photography. Things got out of hand and we ended up messing about with the lighting along Barnes railway bridge across the Thames. Sorry!

London's core, the ancient City of London, the 'square mile', retains its medieval boundaries.

Thanks to the wonders of the internet I found out via US blogger Coyote about events in Richmond upon Thames. I used to go into Richmond every Saturday with a gaggle of other eleven year old girls to shop for three hours and eventually buy a notebook with a picture of a cat on it for seventeen and a half pence.
