oh happy day !

a cheeky monkey recently offered me a groschen for my thoughts ... inexcusable extravagance !

reflections and projections outside putney mall

newdigate church

the design and quality of the lettering on this little brass memorial are exemplary and i am delighted and puzzled by the contradiction in the last sentence

it says "she died" ... "& expecteth a blessed resurection", implying perhaps, that she is only sleeping patiently in her grave

i wish it had told us more about the person

if she still loiters here then i doubt that she will be feeling patient ... the victorians restored the church in 1877 and any graves and memorials that might be her contemporaries have been tidied away for ever

looking west from ashdown forest

reigate tunnel and vaults

a sunny afternoon in trafalgar square

rosy apples

the cats seem curiously unaffected by the prospect of my forthcoming journey to spain ...

unwashed etymological coinage

the goddess of small things has adopted an interloper

do you ever get that feeling that someone is watching you ?

it wasn't just the angel who made me shudder, it was the two green eyes in the shadow beneath the A40 fly-over on Edgware Road
