rooftops of london

i've always been a fan of rooftops. from when we were crazy exchange students scampering on the lappis roofs in stockholm during the white nights of summer, to lazy roof top parties in the south of france and spain. much as i enjoy the shade, there's something romantic about a roof terrace. and balconies. they're not the most photogenic of spaces, however, but i was lucky to catch this snap on saturday. it's been a sorry nine (!!!) months since i last went to the gym. in fact, the last time was before we went to bray for a weekend of crazy eating with friends and i thought some last minute pre-emptive exercise wouldn't hurt. how wrong i was. my relationship with food and exercise isn't very interesting, unfortunately. and i'm conscious of how girls can be catty and competitive when it comes to calories. so no, let's not go down that rabbit hole. firm believer in eating well, in moderation, and being active. although the latter is more by circumstance than by choice, because i'm on my feet a lot in the week be it on the ward or in clinic. but hey, if that's enough to keep me in my current set of clothes (i find clothes fit the best gauge and am loathe to shop for new ones), i'll take it!
