When asked the other day if Han and I would like a little reunion with one of our friends that we met in Laos tubing we were unsure (sorry Alice, love you really) until she mentioned a certain penthouse apartment that we may be able to go and visit her at. After this, obviously we thought we should oblige. It was ridiculous to see what a very London life actually looks like. Quite a far cry from our little house in Clapham, despite the fact that from our kitchen window we have pretty much the same view, just zoomed out a little bit! We can still see the millennium wheel, gherkin and all those other classic London sights just from the distance of quite a few miles.
However, it has to be said that it is a weeny bit different seeing it up close like that. I'm always a sucker for the city at night. Many a midnight bus ride around NY, London and many other cities on our travels confirms it... cities always look their best when they're twinkling.
This particular spot, next door but one to Mr Lee Evans (or one of his apartments anyway) with a stunning view over Waterloo and the rest of the city from one side & a glance down the Thames from the other was incredible.
That and a couple of glasses (several) of our fave el vino, good company and we were set for a pretty good night. Dreaming of what might be ... one day...maybe... if we get really lucky.
We can hope I guess.
