Look, I know people are not particularly interested in my vacation photos, so rather than typing up little personal observations, historic backstory, my own thoughts and emotions upon interacting with thousands of years of history and great works of art, critiquing the current culture and its fashion sense, relating the heartwarming stories of all the dogs I met, recalling locals that I met with whom I struck up a conversation and learned a more intimate insight into everyday life- (okay, most of the people I interacted with were the owners of all those dogs I was petting, and I felt that it would be awkward not to talk to them while I did it.)- or indulgently going on about my amazing family, I am just going to show the rest of the really good photos of London and Windsor Castle and some stuff without all the annoying words.

And now, in this stressful, malodorous, contentious, stage of human history, as we all ballet dance across a thin layer of pond scum that is all that keeps us above the festering, rancid, turbulent swamp that has been, not drained, but rather restocked and replenished with new and ever more abhorrent forms of mutated, soulless bottom-feeders that live on the despair and decomposing, corrupted, fetid remains of our hopes and dreams, I offer you a few humble photos, to wash the taste of reality from your minds, if only for a brief moment…
