Writer, web designer, etc.; born in New York; educated in Argentina, Scotland, and South Africa; now based in London. 
All in all, a rather amusing year I thought. In 2015 there were a lot of jaunts to the continent, but 2016 — in true Brexit fashion — was the year of the domestic excursion (or ‘staycation’ if you’re a modern person). I also, through great cunning, managed to get to the theatre fairly often and even a jaunt or two to the opera.
Here are a few photos from the twelve months just past us, in no particular order.
Exmouth Market, London — I’m sure I’d said something witty.

South Kensington — James larking about in the pub, to Alexandra’s profound embarassment.

Whitefriar Street, Dublin — St Valentine’s shrine doing a brisk trade on a Sunday afternoon in March.

Oxford — En route to supper I found the Radcliffe Camera all aglow.

Stoke Newington — Luckily my champagne socialist friends do sometimes condescend to ale or lager.

Wimborne, Dorset — We sent this to J.R. with the caption ‘#minsterenvy’.

Near Llangurig, Wales — Deprived of internet, electricity, and running water for a week the ladyfolk reverted to traditional gender stereotypes.

Norfolk — A perfect end to a busy weekend before the long drive back to London.

Eton, Berkshire — A misty morning after a boozy supper to mark the great feast of St Eusebius.
Great photos. My favourite I think is the one of Dr.P.J.M. praying in the Brompton Oratory. Stunning! I also love that Saxon font.
Wonerful photographs, i loved the one of White Hall and the one at Llanguri was very amusing!
