Meet Veronica

Place: Northbank restaurant, London.
Date: July 22, 2011.
Camera: BlackBerry Curve.

"Wait until you meeet, Veronica," a colleague told me as we headed to the Northbank Restaurant, near St Paul's, for a summer drinks party. "She's just gorgeous."

I thought she was talking about a member of the bar staff. I was wrong.

Veronica is a well-behaved bulldog with a penchant for pork scratchings and pink bubbly. And yes, she's gorgeous. I wanted to take her home.

London St Pancras: a stunning example of Victorian architecture

St Pancras railway station, a Grade I listed building, is one of my favourite examples of Victorian architecture in London. I love its beautiful red bricks, its gold detailing, its turrets and its clock tower.

I took these snaps quickly today, en route to the British Library, which lies next door, and marvelled at its size: I simply could not fit all of it in the viewfinder of my smartphone camera. Next time I must remember to take my wide-angle Panasonic.
