#CHARINGCROSS: first time in the centre of town since last February, a very long time, a very quiet #London. #boredskater #dystopia

SHOTTOWER | Sunday, June 13, 2021

#SHOTTOWER: the only remaining evidence of the #HounslowGunpowderMills established in the 15th or 16th century here is this shot tower, a small one, which was restored in 2004 and this section of #CranePark is nothing like I remember as a kid. Ultra-quiet spot, including in the nature reserve, A++ would come again. #beautifulrichmond #london #river #richmonduponthames #gunpowdermills

#TATE: the star of the show at this time of year is, for me, the #rose garden on #Millbank (they look just like #peonies but I’m pretty sure that the leaves give it away) and they emit a marvellous aroma, as great roses should. Lovely to be - safely - out and about after so long. #london #garden #tatebritain #alliums

#CARLTONTAVERN: went out out for the first time in over a year and caught up with a mate, met a nice chap on our walk through #PaddingtonRec and he mentioned the #CarltonTavern and we remembered that it was rebuilt and reopen again! So we crossed the rec and had a drink :) Great to see the pub functioning as it should be. #london #kilburn #pub

#HEYGATEESTATE: throwback to June 2005 and nine years away from its total demolition. An utter disgrace. The estate was finally closed in 2013. Apparently it’s better to have one massive crime than lots of little ones. #elephantandcastle #heygate #southwark #london #southlondon #walworth

#SLOANESQUARE: finally coming into its own after decades of nothing. Perfectly shaded, fountain, a bar, nice and cool. Was planning to cycle somewhere else but I’m fairly planted here… #london #chelsea #theatre

#ABERYSTWYTH: this may well be the last time I ever come here, such a long trek from #London but I can appreciate why Mary loved living across from this view, frequently posting cards with her pictures of sunrises of this view, delivering the latest news from her world and delighting in the sea, which ‘provides a constant source of inspiration’ in her writing. I’m currently photographing each of her records and then reading through as much of her work scattered around I can so we might find anything unfinished, unpublished, or otherwise. She made it into Who’s Who 2004, we discovered. #maryellisonfanclub #keele

QUEENSROAD | Friday, July 31, 2020

#QUEENSROAD: my perfect way of enjoying #RichmondPark is with a #bicycle and to stray off the main road whenever possible, partially because the road is most likely place to meet inconsiderate road users, but also because one must explore. We followed this small herd of #deer - safely, with binoculars - down from the woods just past the Dip Pond. #park #lockup #nature #london #richmond #explore #exploremore
