Last night I went to my first meeting of the London Bloggers meetup group, upstairs at the Camel & Artichoke near Waterloo station. I had a great time, and met lots of fascinating folk, including the lads from the Londonist, Peter Marshall, who in addition to being a blogger has been a photographer since before […]

A statue of […]
Ahhh Torchwood
