The Life and Times of.. or something.

Needing a very strong coffee to get me to the weekend. I've done enough for the week and I'm now just freewheeling! What ever you're up to, hope it's a good one. If you need a quick pick me up, this guy does great coffee between London Bridge Station and Borough Market on St Thomas's Street.

Took a walk down the river last night from Hays Galleria towards Tower Bridge, passing the 'Christmas by the river' market stalls. It was absolutely freezing but I think worth it. Came away with this photo and a very tasty veggie burrito. #towerbridge #london #tourist #touristattraction #RiverThames #redbus #londonbus #tfl #reflection #londonbylondoners #ig_london #londonstreets #londondisclosure #londoncollective #mytinyatlas #londonstreets #londonicons #irishblogger #irishinlondon #irishabroad #mysecretlondon #haysgalleria (at Tower Bridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXzDYzRMmQF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ye olde sausage rolls at the @gingerpigltd I wonder if there's a veggie option? #food #sausage #pig #pork #foodmarket #foodstall #market #marketstall #meat #veggie #boroughmarket #londonsigns #retrosign #mysecretlondon #mytinyatlas #londonstreets #peoplewatching #streetphotography #irishinlondon #irishabroad #IrishinBritain #londonirish #irishblogger (at Borough Market) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXyd9s8Mvsr/?utm_medium=tumblr

Waiting for the photos. As we were walking past this photo booth in Old Spitalfields Market the other day, I couldn't help but try to capture this. I loved this young girl's enthusiasm as she waited for the photos to print. Priceless. #photooftheday #photobooth #family #peoplewatching #spitalsfields #london #oldspitalfieldsmarket #mytinyatlaslondon #londonstreets #londonsbest #londonbylondoners #mysecretlondon #tourist #irishinlondon #irishabroad #IrishinBritain #londonirish #retro #photomatic #hotshots (at Old Spitalfields Market) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXwrZGCspPu/?utm_medium=tumblr

Bus travel, central London, December 2021. It's crazy to me how people can politicize something as small as mask wearing, when so many around the world do it as a mark of respect to their fellow travellers. Just to ensure they don't pass on their cold or sniffles. This photo was taken on a bus from Liverpool Street to London Bridge and I really like the colours in this. #london #tfl #bus #travel #londonstreets #londonpop #londonbylondoners #mysecretlondon #mytinyatlaslondon #exploringlondon #londonirish #IrishinBritain #irishinlondon #irishabroad (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXvycWFMWTw/?utm_medium=tumblr

The most Christmassy you're going to see here from me. Another strange one. Not everyone is going to be able to make it home or even to be able to be in the same room as their loved ones. We've just got to do our best, look after ourselves and our families and as it's Christmas, give ourselves a little treat. We're allowed that much. Taken last week in the Embassy of Ireland.

Someone seems happy with their choice. The people who work on this stall in Borough market are awesome. Gorgeous French produce and somewhere I occasionally feel bold enough to practice le language.

So I made a bit of a boo boo and forget to schedule my social media for this week's episode of #TheLondonEar. I was too busy running off to get #boosted. I've now got the show online and I would highly encourage you to listen as it contains absolutely cracking Irish music. @msclaratracey @cmatbaby #forthoseilove @telefis @aritualsea @newdad_ @iamcarriebaxter @jesskavmusic @senatorappiakorang @toshin_music @hawk.jupiter @rowantheband @meganoneillmusic @p__doolan @taranomedoyle Cracking tunes methinks!

Central London, December 5 2021. I don't know what was going on! As I walked from the Southbank to Waterloo station about 15 of these horse and traps came flying down the road. Big retro vibes. #london #horse #cart #race #southbank #londonstreets #londonpop #londonbylondoners #mysecretlondon #mytinyatlaslondon #exploringlondon #irishinlondon #irishabroad #IrishinBritain #londonirish #horseandrider #streetracer #horseandcarriage #horseandcart #horseandtrap (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXb8qJTsxiJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Long day, homebound train. This photo came up in my google memories. It's weird because this week feels very much like déjà vu, all over again. Very glad I managed to get home last week for a couple of days, let's see what December holds. #train #trainstation #travel #tourist #charingx #charingcross #blurry #shadow #irishinlondon #irishabroad #IrishinBritain #londonirish #london #londonstreets #londonpop #londonbylondoners #mysecretlondon #mytinyatlaslondon #exploringlondon #nightscape (at Charing Cross) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW6im4WsPfv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Waiting to fly. Darkness descends over the airfield. I hate the long dark evenings of winter but I do like the gorgeous colours that get us there. I found this in my photos today, taken, I believe, in the North Terminal in Gatwick as I was waiting for a flight to Belfast. #flying #dusk #sundown #irishinlondon #irishabroad #londonirish #IrishinBritain #plane #flight #tourist #tourism #travel #airtravel #gatwick #belfast #gatwickairport (at Gatwick Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW3lotOM7o2/?utm_medium=tumblr
