On our last visit to London we stayed in Moorgate, and were very taken with this modern glass building across from teh hotel. When we ventured closer, we discovered the window cleaners hard at work.
I suspect that’s a full time job a City Point!

Ah, St Patricks Day! The world’s excuse to dye everything green, and flavour everything with Guinness. Including ice-cream.
Actually, this worked quite well – the malty flavour of the stout was reminiscent of other confectionery like Maltesers, and I don’t like my desserts to be overly sweet. For reference, this was in an ice-cream parlour in Newcastle, Co Down, where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea.

A tricky subject this week. Not having any photographs of lightning striking, or superheroes ka-powing (though I do have a picture of a carboard cutout of Qi-gon Jin, with his light sabre…..) here’s an arty shot of some rays of sun, zapping a river…

These are some freshly unfurled skunk cabbage or swamp lantern, taken at the lake in Hillsborough forest.

St Georges Market, in downtown Belfast is a great place to find all sorts of interesting foodstuffs. Here’s one of the spice stalls.
My kids always tease me about ordering the “most random thing on the menu”. As I surveyed my morning’s purchases – roast dulse, dopiaza sauce, feta stuffed peppers, marinated artichoke hearts, pistachio and sour cherry biscotti and a bottle of sarsaparilla cordial – it did strike me as being particularly “random”, even by my standards! Well worth a wander any time you’re passing by.
