Out with the old...







So farewell then 2007. On the last afternoon of the year I cycled over Tower Bridge to visit Seething Lane, where Pepys used to live. His house, of course, is long gone - having burned down a few years after surviving the Great Fire. Strangely, the area around his statue smelled quite strongly of vomit. Saw in 2008 at John and Garry's in Camberwell with fireworks provided by their neighbours. Hit the saddle again at mid-day today, cycling up to Hampstead and back, then met up with last night's revellers again for a stroll along the Thames. Can't quite believe it's 2008 already. Still feels like 1994 to me.
