As the long journey back to some kind of normality begins, I'll be sharing a few pics snapped during the Lockdown period here in London March - July 2020  I've spent a LOT of time – with colleagues and student alike – discussing camera technique for virtual tours. I have seen up a sufficient number of nostrils this year to last me A LIFETIME! To get my camera at a decent height, my machine is now standing on two volumes of Punch, one from 1887 and one from 1889. The 1888 volume is way out of my price range as it is a collector's item among ghouls who are into the Jack The Ripper case…  This blog features photos snapped with either a Canon 500D or an iPhone6 or an iPhone11 as I make my way Londoning around leading & researching my tours.

As the long journey back to some kind of normality begins, I'll be sharing a few pics snapped during the Lockdown period here in London March - July 2020  I don't think I have spent this much time in the garden since I was about seven years old.  Our Summer House - stop calling it a shed! 🤣🤣🤣 – has been a particular Godsend during lockdown. It's seen a lot of action, particularly during the glorious spring. I draft my virtual tours here , starting with a pen and paper, proper old school. I've been giving short music performances from here, too - my Tiny Garden Concerts on social media. The Northern Line thunders just behind the trees - a sound that I have found reassuringly urban during lockdown. In the months when I stayed away from my beloved central London, the cacophonous music of the tube every few minutes has been, believe it or not, soothing. Bizarre. Like everything else about these times.  This blog features photos snapped with either a Canon 500D or an i

As the long journey back to some kind of normality begins, I'll be sharing a few pics snapped during the Lockdown period here in London March - July 2020  Back in April I went over on my ankle on a 5K run. It’s a low level whinge, given what some have gone through in this pandemic,  but I was unable to walk any great distance, which is a big deal for me. I absolutely LOVE a big walk.  I snapped this back on the 11th May 2020 – my first clear view of central London in 2 months. Not gonna lie, I felt a bit teary. Never very fashionable to say... but I love London.

As the long journey back to some kind of normality begins, I'll be sharing a few pics snapped during the Lockdown period here in London March - July 2020…   Lockdown's greatest four-letter word: Zoom. The virtual tours have been a lot of fun – and they're not done yet. We've taken regular tours for family groups, corporate groups and scheduled tours for clients from all across the globe.  "At last I feel like I've actually DONE something with my night!" wrote Tracey Peace of her Ghosts of the Old City Tour about a month into lockdown. I even did a dance class (participated NOT hosted!) wit the wonderful Meyer Dancers via Zoom. Here I am being photobombed by Karen (above) on Zoom. What did you get up to via Zoom during lockdown?
