This Time Last Year: London | Loni touhle dobou: Londýn

-

As soon as the warmer spring air arrives, I always catch the travel bug. However, having just started a new job, traveling will not be an option for a while yet. So, with nostalgia, I turn to memories and photos from my last trip to London, which I took about a year ago, just after leaving my old job. I've got a bunch of photos for you here, how about that?  Vždycky když přijde teplejší jarní vzduch, dostanu cestovní horečku. Nicméně tentokrát, protože jsem začala nové zaměstnání, musím na cestování ještě nějakou chvíli zapomenout. A tak se s nostalgií obracím k fotkám a vzpomínkám na svůj poslední výlet do Londýna, což bylo asi před rokem, když jsem skončila ve staré práci. Mám pro vás nějaké fotky, co vy na to?


It was my third time going on a solo trip to London and the best one yet! It involved a lot of bookshopping, aimless wandering around, also guided walks, seeing long distance friends and culture.
Wait. This needs a song. 		Bylo to potřetí, co jsem se sama vydala do Londýna a zatím to byl ten nejlepší výlet! Zahrnoval hodně času v knihkupectvích, bezcílného potulování, také vycházky s průvodcem, setkání se vzdálenými přáteli a taky kulturu.
Moment. Chce to písničku.

Don't you just love gulls? I do! 

It wouldn't be a trip to London without bumping into my favourite South Bank busker, Ste Forshaw :) I couldn't stay and listen very long this time, but I bought his record. Of course I did.  Nebyl by to výlet do Londýna, kdybych nenarazila na svého nejoblíbenějšího buskera na South Banku - Ste Forshaw :) Tentokrát jsem se nemohla moc dlouho zdržet a poslouchat, ale koupila jsem si jeho desku. Samozřejmě.

A lovely event that I took part in (and dragged along my friend) was a guided walk on the poet John Keats and his life in Hampstead. A lot of historical, literary and Londony loveliness!  Krásná akce, které jsem se zúčastnila (a přitáhla s sebou svoji kamarádku) byla komentovaná vycházka o básníku Johnu Keatsovi a jeho životě v Hampsteadu. Spousta historické, literární a londýnské nádhery :)

London Red Eye

I shall leave it here for now, but do not dispair. This trip was unique also because it was the first time I ventured outside of London. Soon you can expect another post with some photos from Liverpool! :) Prozatím to nechám tak, ale nezoufejte. Tenhle výlet byl jedinečný taky proto, že to bylo poprvé, co jsem se vypravila mimo Londýn. Takže brzy můžete očekávat další článek s fotkami z Liverpoolu! :)

Hudson Taylor at Electric Ballroom

Well aren't you good at patiently waiting for me to get it together? I hope the following music-y ramblings will not disappoint you. In all honesty, the timing of this post could not be any better, because Hudson Taylor's debut album has only just been released in Ireland and for the rest of us the wait is almost over. Trust me, 23rd March will be here sooner than you think. Head over to hudsontaylormusic.com to find out about how and where you can pre-order it. (Or indeed, purchase if you have the proverbial luck of the Irish :) ) Now, let me once again take you back in time, to last summer, 5th June 2014, if you want me to be date specific. On that memorable day I strolled around Regent's Park and in the evening I went to my first (and hopefully not last) concert in London. I've already talked about the supporting musicians: Kimberly Ann and the oh so amazing Flyte (still not over them!), but now comes the time to talk about the music that I...

This is the one you have been waiting for so long, I hope. Thank you for your patience. August has been a bit of a weird month (more on that later), resulting in a weird blog silence. What can you do? Life happens. Here's more of my unnecessarily long London stories for you. "Oh dear, is she still going on about London? That was ages ago!" Yes it was, but I will never stop going on about it! The best is yet to come, believe me ;) Now, let's travel in time: Day 3: 5th June 2014 (Thu) I was woken up by the traffic early in the morning. It surprised me. We are a bit off the main road and still the noise is remarkably prominent (says the girl, who has lived on the main street for all her life, and is used to the sound of traffic day and night. Only in a “big city” of a different scale.) I made my plan for the day, which included Baker Street, Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill. Not more, because I needed to get back home early to get ready and leave in time f...

Music Monthly: September 2013

I am not even going to try and come up with an apology for this article being 2 weeks late. It just is. Deal with it :) Why not take a little mid-October brake from digging in the back of our closets, searching for where the heck are all the gloves and scarves and warm wolly sweaters, make yourself and nice cuppa of something warm and listen to a couple of songs I assembled last month. As always, it's a little bit of everything: mainstream, indie, folky... I hope you find something you like. First up, yet again, Hudson Taylor . One more song and then I'll shut up about them. Haha, as if :D  First they would have to stop producing such lovely and heart warming music and that is unlikely. (New EP is out now, go get it on iTunes!) Anyway, this is about September and there was one song in particular that spoke to me more than the others. It's one of their oldies, from a couple of years back, and it's called "Concrete Walls" . Sadly, I must say that a lot of t...
