Bench Chai

Went to central London with Sangeeta today and met up with one of her best friends who had her family over from India for the holidays.

As we met in Trafalgar Square, I couldn't waste a bench photo opportunity (Ode to Rich again... http://365project.org/rich57/365/2010-10-27)... They had brought a flask of masala chai, so here's Sangeeta having a warming cuppa...

After this, we had a quick look in the National Gallery before walking down to Buckingham Palace and Westminster before catching the tube home.

Wanted to get some Christmas sales shopping in today but that was a complete failure... Have a week before I go back to work so am sure I'll get to actually buy something before the sales finish.

Sounds like fun & chai tea is my favorite. Make it from scratch every day.

Woo good effort! Different bench mind! In fact thats the smallest bench in the world

[Graham Harcombe]

Lovely friendly shot - taken from an unusual angle ;-)

[Richard Tyson]

Love this Andy, thought it was the same bench at first but does look a bit shorter! Great smile you've captured. Can't believe you came back from 3-1 down with two ogs! Was O'Brien at Pompey once?

[Slava]

How sweet! I love Richard's bench shots, this one is lovely, too!

[Ginger Sanders]

I love it! Great perspective.

[Steve Hollingsworth]

Nice one Andy thought the tubes were on strike down your way .. Are you standing on a lion taking this shot ?

[Matt Cruse]

Nice angle and a good group shot.

@azza_l @rich57 ha ha yeah, I noticed how small the bench was... rich, yeah, great result :-)... O'Brien did play for us once but was useless... seems to have come good at last ha ha
@steveh cheers Steve, some standard line closures, but no strike today (strike was on Boxing day..)

[Andrea Freeman]

I gotta say I am loving these bench shots and hopefully will have my own to contribute soon. Weather is back to normal so all systems are go for Thursday! Love love love Sangeeta's smile

[Mrs. Smith]

Wonderful perspective! I like how she's looking up at you.

[andy c]

@andifree good to hear you'll be able to fly out.. weather's turned mild (and wet) over here now... look forward to seeing your version of a bench shot :-)

[HC]

Love chai!!!
And tell Sangeeta that I said her coat is adorable...:)

[Theresa Reagan]

Agree with all above! Love the looking up nod to the photographer!

[Richard Tyson]

@andifree yeah hope you get a bench shot. Try for the first one on the right down the steps.

[Shannon Pitton]

Great shot, but I must say it looks cold and wet today.

[Sue Stephenson (Swazzette)]

That's a wonderful photo of the group...and everyone looks so happy despite the chill. Sounds like you've been having a wonderful holiday.
:-)

[Annie Charalambous]

HA! I was gonna say that looked like the bench! :D Very cool that she's looking up

[Cherrill]
