The week prior, we called and set a reservation at an Indian restaurant that was nothing but less than a mile on foot from our rented flat. It rained enough to be nuisance but not enought to get anything so wet it would drip. No one walked on the streets with us, but we had the company of some streetlights so as not to trip up on a rogue cobblestone. Once a woman walked ahead of us with heeled ankle boots and some trail of a black piece of cloth hanging out of her coat. She also wore a tiny black sac that was made from leather and closed with a drawstring. I looked at the back of this ensemble and noticed that it seemed thrown together, but it fit well. She eventually turned a corner. The restaurant was closed. For Christmas dinner we cooked pasta from a convinience store and had ate happily on a rainy, fifty degree night.
My second trip to London for an English Christmas and New Year 2016, from cityscape to greenery, Sepia tones.
