London

I've been a wee bit lazy on the blog front.

What better reason to come out of my blog coma than to celebrate my favorite city, London, which is having a banner year (and a half)! Royal Wedding, Queen's Jubilee, Olympics, and now a new Julian Temple documentary, London - The Modern Babylon. Warms my Anglophile soul.

This new film, screening at the Toronto Film Festival this week (and on my birthday!), covers the past century of history in the director's hometown. Powered by the era's iconic music, the doc surveys the people and culture which changed London forever.

Having lived in this majestic city years ago, but visiting rarely now, I can't wait to check it out.

Cheers!
