Mostly this meant the British Museum, but there were also a couple of other favourite haunts plus a museum I'd never managed to make it to before. St George's Gardens, my favourite Bloomsbury spot. Sadly, I didn't …

And now we’re in November, the clocks have gone back, but temperatures haven’t plummeted yet. London feels busy – pubs still have crowds outside.

I’m now 25, a quarter of a century, a very interesting-feeling number. Some would say it’s now closer to the 30s than to the 20s. Let’s recap what’s happened this last month! ✍️ Website During this past month, I made quite a few updates …
