Into the Vale of Health

Poor night's sleep. Snuffling with a rare bout of hay fever today. Woke up in Edgware, coffee and muesli with Mas and then working on some bits and pieces. Not to mention chasing payment from my old agency which is absolutely infuriating.

Then off in the sun to see Mum. Walked from Hampstead station today down the hill of the heath and through the Vale of Health to the hospital. A beautiful day, with people sunbathing, and sitting about by the ponds, and the Heath looking beautiful. I paused to take a few snaps.

Mum, thank goodness, massively improved today. All the trippyness and paranoid flashes are gone, and she was sitting up cheerfully sipping a cup of tea when I arrived. She's had soup too, and all the drips and oxygen have been taken away from her now. She was also walking about fairly well. Spent two and a half hours with her, until Mas came as he'd been struggling with crazy paving and a large root this morning, and then headed back to Brighton, streaming all the way.

Below some quick people snaps in Hampstead Heath; one a bit Seurat like, the last one solarized to look reeely smart.
