Back on a Bike

pen and ink drawing of dodo skull We got back late last night, jetlagged and disoriented. There are many sketches to upload, still.

We somehow made it to work and we both rode our bikes. We were impressed with how many cyclists there were in London, not just the courier professionals but ordinary commuters.

My favorite? The Museum of Garden History, an oddball gem tucked in behind Lambeth Palace. I’ve never seen a dodo’s head before, for instance.

My own garden is in need of serious attention, but not tonight—if I were a cartoon my eyes would be x’s.

  1. Welcome back. I´m so glad you enjoyed The Museum of Garden History. Did you buy one of their lovely Dodo Gardening journals to write your garden notes in? I forgot to show you mine, in fact I thought of lots of things after you had left that I had´nt got round to showing you…. You´ll just have to come again :-)

  6. Ahh, yay, the blog breathes again. Oh and Ribena itself (yum) (I know, next post) can be purchased at Sacramento Asian food stores. Grew up trying to sneak into the cabinet to drink it straight, purple mustache, ugh sounds gross now.
