I took this picture by accident while I was - no doubt inadvisably - using my phone while cycling home form work.

The school at Ewelme. It's the oldest church school in England or something.

Swans on the very swollen Thames at Henley.

Gloomy-looking chap in brass on the floor of Shottesbrooke church.

Shottesbrooke church. It was built in the 14th century, the chancel's bigger than the nave and the visitor's book goes back to 1980.

The giant key to Shottesbrooke church with my not-small hand.

The sign on the door of Shottesbrooke church directing you to a giant key.

Our Joanne at Shottesbrooke Park clutching Simon Jenkins' 1000 Best Churches book.

Ely cathedral on Boxing Day.

Christmas lights on the South Bank.

Sometimes the Evening Standard just downloads its headlines from the National Enquirer website.

This is what happens when you get your cement mixer from Sellafield Tool Hire.

John O'Neill (who works on the bins) with the lovely Christina outside the British Museum.

It looks like a Tube sign, but it's really a sign for the suburban trains out of Moorgate. I knew you'd be interested.

The British Museum, which we went to in order to see some Chinese warriors made of clay. It would've been better if they were made of china, but you can't have everything. I'm mostly posting this picture to demonstrate how jolly good the 5 megapixel camera on my mobile phone is. It's a Nokia N95-8GB, since you ask.

I had a wander round Parliament the other day and I saw this, which amused me. It's David Marshall and the people in the Library Intake Office I feel sorry for.

Another entry in the occasional 'Lovely Hounslow' series.

Given my own dubious spelling and grammatical skills, I probably shouldn't really be pedantic with other people but this van in Hounslow really showed some persistence with their misplaced apostrophes.

St Clements and St Barnabas church in Finsbury. It was looking a bit run down, despite the magnificnet columns and what have you, and the doors were locked. The vicarage next door looked quite new, though.
