June, lovely June

For a week only, the most beautiful June days unfold. A cliche of English summertime: picnic-perfect skies, strong midsummer shadows, and a gleaming palette of primary colours recalling idealised childhood summers. The fullness of it, gently arousing the senses. That honeysuckle! Those roses!

I stop and savour this exquisite time in an unfamiliar London.
