Ruislip Lido & Woods

Ruislip Lido was once called "London's Lung" and it really is an amazing place: you cannot believe you are in suburban London once you turn off the main road and start to explore the acres of woodland, lakeside beach and even the miniature railway.

Fresh New Blog: Finish My Post Idea List For Me!

Welcome to my new blog - I've decided to start this new one so that I can continue (or rather, start again!) to write regular posts, but with more of a reflection on my life and experiences as they stand now. I've found both the content and the style of the old Perdita's Pursuits blog hard to maintain over the last two years; the shabby-retro style can slip so easily into plain old shabby when you have no time for trying every filter and tweaking every photo, and when the blog relies on content involving regular splurges at vintage events and you don't really splurge that much - well, it led to a need for something new.
