Discover Our Neighbourhood at the Southbank Centre 27 Aug 2013 | 02:30 pm
You may recall that earlier this summer I went on a tour around the attractions of The Southbank including The London Eye and The National Theatre. Part of that day included a guided walk around the S...
Live By The Lake – outdoor concerts at Kenwood 22 Aug 2013 | 02:30 pm
I must admit when I first read about this I misunderstood the word 'live' to be about living, rather than something that is in the moment. I expected to scroll down and see some nice wooden cabins sit...
No no no... 20 Aug 2013 | 02:30 pm
No spitting in Enfield!!!! It's disgusting. I have been accidentally phlobbed on too many times, mostly by idiots not looking as they exited shops. They seem to have some idea that it's better out t...
Pub colours 16 Aug 2013 | 02:30 pm
I pinched this idea from the very talented Mr Paul Bommer. He calls them, "Coloured Inns". Wish I'd thought of that. This is the first of two collections on this theme. Here are the animals. The idea...

As mentioned a few weeks ago, I recently went on the London Eye. For me, July was a month of elevated viewing experiences as I had already been up the BT Tower and The Shard. They say [good] things al...
The RA (Really Awful) Summer Show 2013 2 Aug 2013 | 02:30 pm
There are three weeks left to see this year's Summer Show at the Royal Academy. But don't panic... it's not worth the effort. Last year's show was disappointing enough and my friend and I agreed that ...
Foxed by the foxes 31 Jul 2013 | 02:30 pm
From the Holloway Road to my house is approx a 3 minute walk. I was coming home at 11.30pm the other night and counted six foxes; two trotting together, 3 others as loners seemingly out on foraging or...
That pointy thing called the Shard 29 Jul 2013 | 02:30 pm
Those of you who have read some of my previous posts will be aware that I am not a fan of that monstrous glass building at London Bridge. I think it's bullying "look at me; I'm really big!" architectu...
