Leonardo’s notebooks

I walked nearly 30km around the neighbourhood of Virginia Woolf, down along Oxford Street for miles and miles as London woke up. I hadn’t stayed in this part of London before but just loved it. My cool little Goodge Street pad was sandwiched between some of my favourite streets – I have always loved Byng Place and the area around the British Library. In the other direction were the lovely streets in behind Oxford Street and right up around Harley Street. I had a stack of work to do so went and set up an office amongst the tomes of great writers. Quite surreal to be banging away on a keyboard with the Magna Carta, Leonardo’s notebooks and a few Beatles manuscripts a few metres away.
