So what a week to return to London... Was anyone affected by the riots? My mum lives only ten minutes away from one of the worst areas hit, places where I spent time as a kid have been smashed to pieces. It does make you wonder about the current ecological climate but at the same time, I don't think it totally excuses the behaviour of all those involved. Especially when many of the rioters were just sufficiently privileged opportunists using the death of one man to get some free stuff. Mob mentality is just a cowards way to be brave as part of a body, therefore (i guess in their minds) diminishing their own responsibilit. It's weak-minded and kind of sickening.

Riots aside, something clearly needs to be done about the gap between the poor and the wealthy, minimum wage is still terrifyingly low and prices are continuing to rise...

Hey, just so you've got an update, here are some photos from Barcelona- I had such an amazing time eating and drinking amazing food and wine (including vegan salami), listening to jazz music whilst watching pretty insane male flamenco dancing, getting lost in the Gothic quarter and re-establishing my caffeine addiction (this time for turkish coffe- if your haven't tried it you should, it's so good!). Helsinki is a stark comparrison but was equally enthralling, so calm and beautiful, but still very city-like. I can't wait to go back. We had dinner here-
