I’m now working on Memory of london. If I think about where I am now, in Venice,- I’ d say.
Christmas time is amazing. Strolling the cobbled streets in the early evening admiring the well dressed Italians and the well dressed shop windows (In london think Fortnum and Maisons and Harvey Nich’s- where a few years ago they recreated a snow storm all around the shop on the corner of Sloane street!) .In Venice think Emporio Armani and Prada.
Cappuccino and Brioche while lookin over a misty St. Marks square - Think Turner and Matisse with Japanese tourists jumping and playing in the icy water flooding the square, wet pigeons looking demurely on.
The smell of wood smoke and the site of young people dashing about on their Vespas(when on Terra Firma as they call it) and the site of old people on their bicycles- a stereotype but it really is like that!- and lots of picturesque stray cats. - all waiting for your camera btw, libs!
But Venice is very different from London and Brighton and they both have so much to offer- and the fact that they’re so different and you can pop from one to the other is still the biggest plus to living in Europe for me!
