Not far at all from central London, Richmond is at the end of one of the District Lines. It is a part of London that I really like. This shot is looking up the Thames from the Richmond Bridge. Just off to the left in the trees is the Western edge of Richmond Park.

It is great area of London for walking along the Thames.

HG Wells in Hampstead

On Saturday I took myself on a self-guided walking tour through Hampstead and Hampstead Heath. It had a literary slant so I went past several houses or places with some kind of literary significance.

This is a picture of a house in Hampstead Village, just a few minutes walk from the Hampstead Underground Station, where H.G. Wells lived for a time.

Yew Tree Inn, Highclere, Berkshire, UK

Had dinner here. Updated British food in a building originally built in the 17th century.

Indigo Bay, Newbury, Berks, UK

In the UK on business this week and part of next. On a recommendation from our hotel, we had dinner at an Indian restaurant in Newbury. I have very limited experience eating Indian food, but this was very good. If you are ever in Newbury and want Indian I recommend it.
