a view from the top

well it shows that we are way too busy to do much on this blog (not that we are overwhelmed by exciting things in the first place) but it's the middle of term and we are lucky if we have the time to read the headlines in the newspaper much less getting any writing done





 

so it's the time of the year where you really depend on everything running smoothly and the last thing you need is a leaking roof but of course that's when it happens and so we had no choice but to climb up and see what was going on







having said that - going up on this roof is always a big excitement simply because we have these fantastic views from there - here you see st. paul's in town and above natwest tower and the gherkin in the city and on a slightly hazy day like this it was all almost magically close 



 


and while we contemplate setting up a roof garden we can take a look into the jungle on the ground - you can see one of anette's bicycling shirts hanging on the wash
















and over to the other side to our beautiful street just as autumn sets in
and the spledid show that the trees put up every year









and then the roof is fixed and it's all back down again











shame...
