we finished work early and i cycled homeward, meandering through battersea park
everyone looked stressed from the cold, my own fingers and toes were painful
even in the middle of the day it seemed dark and there were specks of snow in the air
yet carters' funfair was up and running, the lights and music creating a little heaven on earth
it is the miracle of the age, everything restored to glossy perfection and hand-painted with enormous panache
it is a national treasure, as valuable as any art gallery or museum

Sorry if I go off topic here but you CYCLED (!!) home? In London traffic? With due all respect, you are either brave or mad :)
i cycle because :
it's not too far, five miles
there's no suitable public transport before my start time of five a.m.
it save's loads of money
us middle-aged geezers ( i am fifty six ) really do need the exercise
hope you like the pictures
