Having just returned from 10 days working with ClientEarth and conducting a Board meeting, I thought I'd share the few photos I was able to take with my phone as I passed between constant meetings the streets of London...always so interesting.  We would never find an elegant Men's shop filled with wonderful products of grooming!  This shop was in the same building as our apartment in Mayfair.

I always tried to walk through Green Park to get from point A to point B with James Thornton (CEO of ClientEarth) as we met and nurtured relationships with old and new supporters committed to the environmental work we are conducting throughout Europe.  For example, cautioning the Polish government on the need for strong regulations to ensure safe development of the 11 coal fire plants on the books to meet the need of new energy consumption.  Or, holding the European Union to the rule of law it has passed with all 27 member countries with an openness and transparency that all its citizens are entitled to (their freedom of information statutes).  Or, educating and demanding that the city of London clean up its horrible air to improve the health of its residents, especially with the Olympics coming to town......all of these actions are but a FEW that ClientEarth has initiated to show the European region how valuable the legal rights are to the ongoing efforts of NGOs, governments, and individuals to protect our environment.  The photo above was taken on a glorious day in Green Park when the very old trees were bursting with spring awakening.

How much fun it was to walk down a street on Berkeley Square and see a line of electric cars "juicing up" with public stations!  Haven't seen that yet in our country, but let's hope it comes to us soon.

 Had a lovely meeting with friend Zac Goldsmith, MP from Richmond, at the Parliament building, also referred to by locals as the Palace....since it was originally built as that!  Tea on the House of Commons side with a view of the Thames capped off the busy week.  Great work accomplished for ClientEarth.

 A personal accomplishment was getting Michael out of the apartment to find a new raincoat at Selfridges on Oxford Street.  And...it was rightly used!

Heading back to London with my mother and sister in another two weeks, so will catch everyone up with that trip soon.
