A valuable restoration in Fitzrovia. The facade bears the legend The Middlesex Hospital Radium Wing at third floor level, while the signage above the door reads The Meyerstein Institute of Radio-Therapy. Behind it, sits Fitzroy Place. #architecture #fitzrovia

Although never ones to be overly superstitious, we felt a flicker of unrest when Friday the 13th revealed itself as the day we’d complete the deal on the new bakery & deli. But, as someone far wiser than us once said, every day is a good day to start a new journey.

Thoughts begin turn to cycling goals for 2025. Aiming to better this 24-hour ride from 2014. Tracing the original route of the A1 might make for a tasty weekend challenge.

Venice, the original 15-minute city, where every ‘journey’ is punctuated by human interaction, friendly smiles, a whispered “scusi”, and time to be perfectly present.
