quietly hauling her train up the hill from horsted station

if she isn't an old templecombe stalwart, i'll eat my anorak !

 

southern region coffin carrier

 

horsted keynes hospitality ... a tempting coal fire but it was time to get back to work

 

red enough for two

 

battersea power station

on my way home i stopped to take a picture of the power station from queenstown road just below chelsea bridge

then i decided to cycle up to hyde park ....

 

chelsea bridge lamp stand

 

pump house chimbley ... slightly cross-eyed

 

smoking or non-smoking ?

 

non-allergenic felines in sloane street

 

mythical party people at edinburgh gate

 

the albert memorial ... who said taste had anything to do with it ?

 

... count the golden angels

 

queen's gate ... red-leaded & ready for painting

i'd love to have seen the foundry that made these gates ... & met the workers

they must have taken huge satisfaction from the job

 

i wanted to go home and fetch my paints

taxi drivers' den near queen's gate

 

the hereford arms ... they don't make 'em like they used to !

 

a chelsea houseboat with matching life belt

it must be nearly time for madonna to star in the remake of metropolis, and here's chelsea power station crying out to be used

 

dull would he be of soul who could pass by a sight so touching in its majesty

 

more golden anorak points ... note the handbrake is on the outside

 

... home in time for tea

 

makeover time

if george w bush was to grow a beard ... would he look more like abe lincoln ?

gluttony, sloth, anger, greed, lust, pride & envy ... without them, i wouldn't be me !

 

a little something from the loved one ...

 

pride of putney 1887

there was nothing like these in mary poppins
