Dispatches from London: My 10 Favorite Photos from my Four Months in London

For my final post of 2014, I wanted to show off some of the photos I took around London since I arrived in September. These are some of my favorite moments from my adventures around the city the last few months. Thanks for welcoming me so wonderfully to Londontopia, and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

  Better question for you, Ian: why feel the need to criticize her writing style? It IS a blog about what SHE is doing and what SHE is seeing. Should it be in the third person?
  
  “Samantha walked along a bridge, and Samantha took a picture.”
  
  Perhaps a more colorful way of expressing it?
  
  “The clock jumped out from behind the bridge, imprinting itself on the camera’s lens!”
  
  I mean, what the hell do you want other than to be a stereotypical snooty Brit?

  People who live in glass houses Ian! You have at least 3 spelling errors in less than 30 words.
