‘Fifty miles south as the swallow flies and London’s at her best. She knows it: she is irresistible. Children feed black swans in Regent’s Park and pelicans in St. James’s, and the limes are incandescent in the avenues. Hampstead Heath comes over like a country fair; nobody uses the Tube. The sun is thick on the pavements while jugglers and tricksters grow rich in Leicester Square. No-one wants to go home. Why would they? Outside pubs and office juniors grow impertinent and if it’s not exactly love which brews in with the hops and the coffee it’s as near as makes no difference.’

S. Perry 'The Essex Serpent’

Ohhh yes, always (well ok, sometimes) I imagine heros and heroines as actors and actresses. For example, 'Imp' from The Essex Serpent 'had' Johnny Depp's look from Dark Shadows for me, and that pastor 'looked like' Jeremy Irons. David Tennant 'played' in my version of Ashes of London.
