Stepping Out

It was not so very long ago that the sight of an umbrella and bowler hat was common place in The City.

Not any more I'm afraid.

However, I spotted this guy striding along the street when I left the office this evening. I loved the way he was carrying the brolly & 'bouncing' along.

I followed him down the street for a few minutes hoping I could frame him against an interesting background when all of a sudden the red London buses came into shot.

Grabbed this on my iPhone but wished I had my real camera with me today. I'm happy with it just the same.

For me, it makes an iconic 'London Shot' and on that basis alone it becomes my Blip for today.

I'm meeting a friend/colleague TS for dinner tonight in The Grazing Goat in Marylebone. I'm becoming a bit of a 'regular' in there these days. It's really worth checking out if you're in London and looking for top quality nosh at great prices.
