Hiking at Weir Farm, Wilton

Monday, July 21, 2008

I went hiking at Weir farm National Historic Site recently with some friends from a hiking meetup.

The site includes old farm buildings and a huge acreage of gardens and forest.

We hiked around Weir Pond and into the woods.

it was early evening in the summer and the light was very pretty coming through the trees.

The buildings [...]

Three hours of my time, this weekend, was spent doing this (see photo, right).
If you had a look at my yard right now, of course, you’d have absolutely zero inkling that any form of rake had ever touch it.
As an estimate, we have 427,783 trees in our yard. Now, this might be an exaggeration, but [...]

… and Other Truths about A Poor and Sodden Nation
There are many good reasons that ignorant Americans give to never leave America.
Amuuuurrr-ick-cuh’s the best cunt-tree in the whole wide world. Why should I go anywhere’s else?
Well, really that boils it down doesn’t it?
The truth is, after living three years in one of the great cities [...]

Hyde Park in Winter

Saturday, February 17, 2007

Colin and I went for a walk to Hyde Park last weekend. We’ve been having beautiful sunny weather here so far for most of the winter. Temperatures in the 40s and 50s . We can’t complain. It’s hit or miss, of course, as some days it pours with rain and there is even the occasional [...]

The Parental Invasion

Tuesday, September 12, 2006

My in-laws, Henry and Linda, have descended upon us in London. Henry is a proper old limey, having been born here. Still, things are somewhat different since the World War II days, so I’ve been taking them around the town. Here we flying high in the London Eye… The weather has been spot on and [...]

2006 Women’s HydroActive Challenge
September 3rd
London’s Hyde Park
Finish Time: 40 minutes 31 seconds
The HydroActive Challenge 5K is a race for women and there were woman all around me. But even so, I didn’t feel like talking to anyone. Almost everyone there was running for some charity or other, so the other runners were travelling in packs [...]

The Feel of London’s South Side

Last-Chance Londoner, Part II
At Coin Street, Gabriel’s Wharf, you are finally there.
The gross cement casings of the new theatre parade are behind you. You can see Old London rising up across the Thames, behind its bridges. The clatter of the skateboards has died underneath the Waterloo Bridge.

At Coin Street, South Bank yawns and kicks. The [...]

A Walk in Clerkenwell

Monday, August 21, 2006

Last Chance Londoner, Part I
London holds its secrets like a favour. You are only rewarded if you go look for them, and if you ask.
I walked today between raindrops, between eras, between churchyards’ gasps of silence and the blat! of a city beside them.
I went to St. Paul’s Tube and the City of London to [...]

Fruitstock Juices Us

Tuesday, August 8, 2006

Colin and I were lured by the people streaming through Regent’s Park. I told Frances “it looked like the Trail of Tears, with strollers and picnics.” Colin and I were heading home, from a missed attempt at the Marylebone Farmer’s Market when we stumbled on this.

The thing I really like about Innocent Juices product is [...]

Under My Feet

Thursday, August 3, 2006

One thing that you lose, when you live a life with a car, is your connection with your feet.
I miss my Mazda Protégé. I miss it a lot. I don’t love my life in London, and in lots of ways I can’t wait to be able to just hop in a car again—preferably a zippy [...]

A Walk ’round Bayswater

Tuesday, April 25, 2006

It isn’t possible that I have been more relaxed lately? How is that possible?
Colin and I went a-walkin’ again this weekend. It is getting warmer these days, so we are getting off our butts. This excursions took us west from our flat, generally in the direction of Notting Hill, though we really only made it [...]

Let the Sun Shine!

Friday, January 20, 2006

For those of you ooohhing and aahhing over the excitement of life in London, I can tell you that there is one downside: the season they call “winter.”This isn’t really a “season” or anything like “winter” (except that Christmas takes place during it); no, it is just a VERY long extension of the worst possible [...]
