Red horsepower and matching silk sash that I just happened to have about my person in my quest to find a pair of matching shoes. Hardly a victory sash as I failed miserably - it's an odd shade of red,…

300615 Sitting but not Opsitting

Geoff's back and so I wanted to ensure that today's pic reflected this. Furthermore, there was a distinct lack of courting couples abroad - just lots of groups of young things enjoying the extraordinary weather. So I've gone for the…

290615 Paul’s Walk

Gossip-mongering and idling - what a wonderful way to pass the day, but I'm not sure St Paul's would approve of the nave for such purposes. Nowadays, the gossip-mongers and idlers have to while away the days in cafes. Day…

All this stuff about white flaps to keep the sun off your neck is fine and dandy, but Havelock is also a hosepipe brand name ... and guess which one was easier to find in SW3? Day #175 of the…

220615 Monstre Sacré

Not sure how controversial Bartok was, but as one of Hungary's greatest composers, he was certainly renowned. This statue is on the corner of Pelham Street and Onslow Square because he once stayed nearby in Sydney Place … errr, why…
