Merton Abbey

2007.09.16
Cheeky Sunday afternoon pint by the river.

"I asked for Apple juice, but baby Alice has got Orange juice and now I want Orange juice too". :(

Remains of Merton Abbey, now has a road going over the top, but they've housed part of the ruins under a flyover.

It seemed quite surreal. Like walking in to the middle of a archaeological dig, in a busy, slightly run-down area of London, under a busy main road.

The funny thing is the sites not normally open to the public, it was just chance we where walking past on that day, a place we've never been before.

Sadly a Travel Lodge now takes it's place.

We went to Merton Abbey Mills so Lilly could go to the theater (she's very cultured).

Didn't actually take on pictures of the market or theater it's self, I found the river and the remains of the actual Merton Abbey more interesting. But then I'm not so highbrow as Lilly.

A side note - I'm now 11 months through my photo-a-day-for-a-year challenge.

It's got me thinking what I'll do when I've completed it. Should I continue for another year? How about a ten year, 3650 challenge? Or, should I take a break? But if I take a break I might get lazy. Oh god, I don't know.

vollenda How great that you happened by at the right time. It does look like an archeological dig.

I love Lilly's sulk. She is a star!

I vote for another year too. I would miss seeing your girls grow. I find that I shoot a lot more because of photoblog. :)
