Photo by Lottie |
This week’s top banana is Lottie – she of the fabulously cool ancestor and the beautifully-written blog about life in London.
From what I can gather she lives close to proper, grown-up London, historic London – the London of monuments and landmarks, palaces and skyscrapers, bridges and tunnels – and the Thames, the real Thames of docks and embankments, not the Thames of mudflats and rowers as it is near here. This is the London I used to work in until I started working from home, had a baby and my landscape shrank.
Our Lottie is, moreover, an ace photographer. I love the way she plays with light and captures her river in all its different moods and incarnations. Her amazing Flickr album is already making me nostalgic and I haven’t even moved yet.
Check it out now because, come October, it will be damp with my tears and the pages will be stuck together.

Paola, I’m so touched – what an honour! You chose some of my favourite shots as well. In fact, should I even comment, being your commenter of the week? Anyway, thank you – so very sweet. lottie x
You should most definitely comment. And tell us what you are wearing to collect this most prestigious award….
Had it been yesterday I’d collected said prestige, I’d have taken to the stage sporting a floaty sun top and apple green shorts, shod in brown flip flops. In place of a handbag I’d have sported a plant spray mister filled with iced water, just the thing for cooling off in this hot weather… Oh the glamour!
