Here’s to a looking forward to all of the opportunities 2011 has to offer and putting 2010 behind us. Thought this shot that Romany WG added to the Flickr pool was a great one to see in the new year. Have a great last night of 2010 everyone!

Neal’s Yard
Surrounding myself with vibrant colours usually makes me happy, and what better place in London to do that than a little walk through Neal’s Yard in Covent Garden?
The walls scream sunshine and summer and while there isn’t too much going in in the little square, it’s a great place to escape the main crowds and though it’s pretty small, there’s always something interesting to look at.
While you’re in the area, stop by Stanfords books for some great travel-related reading material that will cover any country you’re dreaming of visiting this year.
They even happen to have a Sacred Cafe in the back of the shop. Savoury muffins galore. Mmmm spinach, feta, warm, melted butter…
And a relax tea. Relax and forget you’re in one of the most crowded parts of the city, forget that family block of tourists who made you walk .05 km per hour halfway down the road.
Breathe and think of pretty colours. And, er… fashion weak? ^^
Okay so the street art sticker stuff doesn’t exactly compete with the East End, but the colours of the buildings certainly aren’t as drab!
And there’s even a few blades of grass somewhere in there.
Did I mention funny mirrors and amusing quotes?
They’re Watching You…
I went on a bit of a street art photo blitz on Monday afternoon around Shoreditch and Soho. The streets are so quiet and comparatively empty on these sort of holidays. One image that kept popping up was this face which I asume was done by someone from the LFH crew. If anyone knows more about them, fill me in, please!
