I come from a town which, should you want to, can be walked around within two hours. I got to know it like the back of my hand. I doubt I will ever know London like that. I have been living here for two years, and still know but a fraction of her laberynthine streets.

Lyn and I are currently sat by the river. We are halfway through a walk: lyn has been following her nose, and I have been following Lyn. She took us down roads, that, despite my many independent wanderings, I had never been down before. She took me to fascinating places where ancient churches butted up to ultramodern tower blocks, And thus we ended up here, to a bench by the thames watching the sun set and the twinkling lights of canary warf. London. Is before me, it seems, and I have rarely seen a more beautiful sight.
