Canada! From sea to shining sea, I can't wait to see you again. Last trip, I scattered a handful of my mother's ashes around the corner on the front steps of Canada House, to symbolize her Englishness and embrace of Canada. So when I go to London and Paris, I get to visit my parents.

Trafalgar Square, in all its emptiness, with the dome of the National Gallery and the beautiful spire of St. Martin in the Fields.

The West End in all its fullness

The curtain at the theatre last night, Wyndham's, one of the grand old theatres of the West End, quite lovely, even if the play wasn't.
