Well okay, I'm no artist or great photographer, but I thought I would put up a few of the pics I took this past week wondering near by my office. Mainly of Marble Arch and Grosvenor Square to start with.

Next one is, in the background The London Eye, but in the foreground is a Royal Air Force commemorative statue with are on opposing sides of the River Thames

See it still had a bit of scaffolding on it then. I remember having a very memorable kiss and meet up with a girl on Valentines days at the bottom of that, she came down from Norfolk to see me, this was before I was married and it didn't work out, I think she was a bit inbred. :D
