We enjoyed our afternoon tea today. We’ve been with a lovely guide who has been so kind and fun and cheerful — she’s an actress who does walking and bus tours on the side, so you can imagine the personality. We bought her high tea this afternoon and sat and chatted with her about this and that. And then she told us all of the places we should go shop.

Why this car is ever parked is a mystery:

It just wants to go fast:

Or is that just me?
