A Summer Evening in London

Everyone I know back in South Africa has this picture of London as a grey, dismal place where it rains all the time, and even when it's not raining it's cloudy and miserable.

I knew that wasn't true, but the past couple of days have really proved it. It's been beautiful and sunny, and yesterday at the Bon Jovi concert it was really hot - it was so nice sitting on the grass in the sun with friends :-) And today it's been really hot, really sunny again; too hot, actually, but now it's about 9 in the evening and it's starting to get a bit cooler; the sun's going down, but it's still nice and light and it's just perfect for going a for an evening walk.

I just wish I had someone to walk with, or someone to walk to.

I was standing on the balcony of my flat, looking out over the houses, and it just looked so perfectly London - sometimes I still can't believe that I'm actually here.
