The simple things in life.

We’ve been nursing a couple of heavy colds over the last few days, so strenuous activity has been somewhat curtailed - although we have briefly contributed to the capital’s leisure economy!  We’ve done a few walks and tried to keep our fitness levels up a bit – here are some shots of the many simple things around London that can lift our senses if we did but notice them.
