Just a moment

You will glide from the calmly flowing glaciers at the very top, through the trees to the good old wooden chalets hiding from your sight right at the bottom. Powdery snow, high peaks crowning your climb, hearty meal waiting for your rosy cheeks. One week spent in Zermatt, Switzerland and I am in love with the Matterhorn. Perhaps the most beautiful mountain in the world...?

One of my favourite memories of late adventures is climbing up the fire exit stairs of the Hilton hotel on Park Lane in a wintery night and drinking in the sights below.

Anyway if you haven't fallen in love with London at night yet, do have a look at these beautiful photos of the city from above at night. And more of the same because you are worth it!

What is your favourite spot for some late sightseeing in London town?

I won't deny that french people have a bit of a bias for beautiful legs, but I find these ankles mesmerising. There is a simple joy in Tango, it's not all gravitas and burning passion. Thank you Javier Rodrigues  and Geraldine Rojas.

Tired wood at Nomad in Fulham, cosy bookshop great for its kids and travel sections.

Perhaps more fascinating than the fingers of the pianists are the hands of the singers. Fado, blues, flamenco, tango, Edith Piaf, jazz... It's through the hands that some of the energy and emotions trickles out.

The idea is simple to walk between the stations of the underground, following the 12 lines of the Tube, and taking pictures along the way. The result is a rather unusual collection of photographs depicting in a way the walks we will never make. Unfortunately I could not find more details on the author of the project... Have a look around the London Photo Project, it may inspire you to have a walk around with a fresh look at the city of London.

Just came back from a great concert in a tiny lovely venue in good old London town, Borderline. That was my random-choice-for-a-gig of the month and a rather lucky dip I tell you. But before I throw a few words about the "plat de resistance": the supporting band Leisure Society were excellent. Delicate tunes, surprising arrangements, crafted lyrics... My favourite perhaps was Pancake Day. Makes you warm and fuzzy inside, doesn't it?

The main guys tonight were Moriarty an unusually international band with guys from France, Canada and other countries I can't place. It was more than just music and a truly cool performance. Those cats know how to play their instruments, craft their tunes, surprise you in bends and corners you didn't quite see at first. Anyway, enough rambling, check them out and it wouldn't surprise me if you hear a lot more from them...
