#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

#WALKONWATER: the #Thames at shallow tide sees every kid and their dog out on the flats looking for shells. #river #london #sunset #richmond

#QUADDIE: missing all my friends during the last five months of lockdown, going through decades of pictures to remind myself. #2009 #london #skaters

#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her records and then reading through as much of her work scattered around I can so we might find anything unfinished, unpublished, or otherwise.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: 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

#MILLINER: I had to venture to @thelondonlibrary yesterday to return a library book - first time in Central London since mid-March. Popped down Crown Passage for a drink and spotted one of the local milliners has a sense of scale. #london #lockdown #socialdistancing #madasahatter

#VANMOOF: @vanmoof #London are brilliant, excellent customer service. When the bike went pop they were able to get an Addison Lee van sent out to collect it during #COVID-19, and then rang some days later to simply say they would replace the bike instead of having to wait for a long while to obtain parts. Amazing. Spent my day getting over to the store and collecting the replacement, rode it back to the car in Pimlico, performed great. But arrive at home in Richmond, and the replacement is borked. “16 err” it blinks, even after two resets, and goes nowhere. Massively, massively deflated after everyone’s efforts in getting bike back to the store, swapping over all my accessories, etc. The customer service is great. But they can’t help the reliability. #sigh #ebike #vanmoofx2

#OBAMA2008: @demsabroaduk were out in force on a London’s South Bank 12 years ago, signing up the sizeable number of Americans they encountered here. It all feels like a distant memory, yet the activists and attitudes haven’t gone anywhere. They’ll be back. #obama #democrats #london
