London Life: strike up the band, an announcement .

...finally I get to share my big news that I have been dying to tell you all for a few weeks, I hope that it doesn't end up being a massive disappointment lol

I was approached a couple of months ago to be part of a photo essay for a North American magazine about Camden Town, I at first imagine it to be something in the corner of a page (which would have been cool enough), it has however ended up being a 20 page supplement with photos from your truly. I am now in a position to share it all with you, with a few shots you may already recognise. I have to say that when I saw the first draft my chin nearly hit the floor, the feeling is still about the same and I feel immensely proud. I hope that you all like it.

For those footie fans out there you should look at the previous issue's photo essay on African grass roots football, its great.

In other news, school is out finally for the boys which mean lots of quality time (frustration, annoyance and the odd vision of killing them) for the next six weeks although thankfully some of this quality time will be shared with their grandparents and uncle before we head on our annual pilgrimage to the sun.

Also I see that the Royals are still milking the press coverage by not naming the new prince, how long can it take when they probably had an entire list of 5 names per sex you use. Anyone taking bets on George?

Finally a quick thanks for all the lovely comments, stars and favs on my (sort of) Storm Chasing blip from yesterday, even the odd head shake of disapproval lol.
