Just got back from the first of two story research trips to London. What an amazing, inspiring City. I'm not sure I'd want to live there again (having lived there for a short time as a student) but I love to visit occasionally, and this time I had a very good reason. I went to do some research on some of London's parks for book 3 of John Mann's story, tentatively called John Mann - At Day's End. I'd been to these parks before but this time I needed to explore them, see what of London could be seen from them, generally get a sense of atmosphere, and take photographs. It was a great thing to do because a) research is always fun and I want to be sure I have my facts straight, and b) London is just inspiring and now I feel more energised creatively. 'Tired of London, tired of life.' as someone famous once said. I can't wait to visit again soon.
