On a whim, and having nothing to do due to unemployment, I decided to join Phil and 'two Australian guys' on a quick road trip across the channel. Heres a few photos from 8 quick days in Antwerp, Amsterdam, Berlin and Paris. Beau and Nick were sweet dudes who let me sneak in all their hotels to sleep on the floor, I'm fairly sure I owe them a drink or two.
The day we left it was snowing! These are crap photos but i took some with another camera that I'll put up if I can ever afford to get them developed.

LondonThing
I just cant help from taking photos in the fog. These were taken in a rush riding through London Fields on the way to work, I may or may not have stopped riding to take them, as I'm usually running late. I have a lot more but I'll spare you.

Hackney Marsh
This is Hackney Marsh. The 'Marsh' used to be a real willo' the wisp type place, the Romans apparently built one of their famous highways across it, and it managed to strand a bunch of Vikings at some point too. It was drained in Medieval times (those crazy Saxons), and spent much of World War II being filled with rubble.
Now its full of football fields (88 or so according to wiki, full size too), you can find footage on youtube of (a lot of soccer) people doing 'freestyle frisbee', and running through the snow barefoot. I've managed to convince two people to come to the Marsh with me...
p.s If Cameron reads this, let it be known that the Knights Templar (Holy Crap!) used the Marsh for Pastures until they were abolished (you know why...).
Oh and there's a fantastic photographer called Stephen Gill who photographs around Hackney Wick, see his work here.
