Copped Hall, Epping - Apple Day

A sunny afternoon drew large crowds to Copped Hall for the annual Apple Day celebrations.  

Enjoyed the 'home-made' cakes and 'home-grown' apples.  Great to see the progress the wonderful supporters of the renovation of the Hall have made.

The walled garden is always the first place I go to on a sunny day visit.

New and Old

The Tower of London is surrounded by the modern architecture of contemporary buildings.

The Dove - Have a peaceful day London

This sculpture in Wapping High Street caught my eye today and seemed very apt given the terrorist atrocities of yesterday.  I just needed to line-up the Shard so that it appeared in the centre of the Dove - unfortunately this required me to stand in a puddle of water.  Fortunately, I was wearing waterproof shoes!

Take two - Umbrella's identity crisis

This upturned umbrella seems to have reinvented itself as a boat on the lake at Fairlop Waters.
