I like the crowd that has gathered to watch the little figures to come out in Prague. The simple pleasures of life.
My clocks and moments are here

Those are fabulous clocks and towers! I overlooked my London postcards, surely at least one will have the clock tower.

Wow, that astronomical clock in Prague is truly incredible to think it's been keeping time since 1410!

Here's my swinging ritual.
