This morning, I saw a film crew on Dartmouth Park Hill and thought they’ve started filming the new series of Bodyguard. Then I went around the corner and saw an old (1970s?) Ford Granada Police car. It may be a coincidence, or a hint about the new series, or something completely different! (I’m not sure … Continue reading / view photos Bodyguard in Archway

The Pearly Kings and Queens
The Pearly Kings and Queens were out in force today. They looked majestic as they displayed their glittering mother-of-pearl buttons ornately sown onto their clothes. I was delighted to meet the Pearly King of Islington, my local manor. I learnt today it’s a tradition for the Pearly Kings and Queens to donate food to the … Continue reading / view photos The Pearly Kings and Queens
The Thames at night
The Thames at night is a beautiful sight! Yesterday, there was a lovely sunset you could see from the member’s room at the Tate Modern. Sunsets are one of nature’s gift that you can enjoy almost anywhere and each is unique. View photos The Thames at night

This romcom hardly puts a foot wrong. Very funny. I haven’t laughed so much since Paddington 2 😊

And if you like veggie food, the burgers are very tasty at Revival, a charming … Continue reading / view photos Sunny Whitstable

Thanks for recommendation Jigna 🤗. The recipe is: two handfuls of blackcurrant juice of one lemon one apple a chunk of fennel water … Continue reading Red Fitness in Tibits
Back in Amsterdam
When I first went to Amsterdam in the 1980s, I expected the Netherlands and its people to be very different from the world I knew – London. I remember sitting outside a bar, looking at the world go by and watching people. I looked at people’s faces and how they looked at and interacted with … Continue reading / view photos Back in Amsterdam
