Photos from Britain

There are five sets of photos here:

  • The first is from 1995, when I went to Britain solo.

  • The second set of pictures is from a trip with the following year (1996), in which we also visited Egypt, Greece, Italy, and France.

  • The third set is from when we stopped in London on our way to Turkey in 2001.

  • The fourth set is from 2002, when the whole McLaughlin clan came to London en route to Greece.

  • The fifth set are random shots snapped since my move to London in 2003.

Of course, now that I live in London, I see some of these things pretty regularly.  Still, one tries not to become jaded, doesn't one?
