Daughter Time

Rowan was up with us for a few days. Monday she came with me to Thorne Moors on a beautiful autumnal day. Tuesday she helped me clear out the garage - a long time coming, I needed a helpful shove which she provided.

The Olympic legacy seems to be real, the park is a vibrant place with plenty going on.

The V&A east is quite a location and quite a building. Even the cafe was good.

Taken in London, somewhere between Islington and the V&A East in Stratford. Quite happy not to remember where it was exactly.

 

London 2

The next day I met up with Andy, Katie and Anne. We had all first met 50 years ago when we began our time at Liverpool University in October 1976. Half a century. We went to the Earl of Essex in Islington then to the Tamil Crown round the corner to eat. Earlier in the day I had revisited The Music is Black exhibition at the V&A East, with Katie and Anne. Good to meet Andy's partner Ren as well.

Down to London I went once more. Met up with friend Victor at the Guinness brewery in Covent Garden. A good time as usual.

 

The Unexploded Bomb

We missed the excitement, but there was an unexploded bomb found up the road. The army experts took it to the middle of Hob Moor where they blew it up and disposed of it. Always something going on.
