The airport is only a mile and a half from where I live, and of course planes are landing and taking off all the time, although I rarely notice them. Here’s a video I found that shows planes landing at sunset.

Coffee is back in London. Did it ever go away? Like good beer, it became harder to find for a long time, but good coffee is back on the menu, and these days, one doesn’t have to go far to find a really good cup of joe.
A world apart from the ubiquitous chains, independent coffee shops aren’t hard to find.
