Part Two
It's 1984-5 or 1987, but it's definitely London
Wednesday Night at The Mansions
Visual Ragtime

Newly decorated hall at Mansions, venue of great mini-frisbee derring do-nuts
I still have the bentwood chairs - sitting on one as I type this – and the bass body hanging on the wall

Chilled

Re: An image (or two, or three, maybe a dozen. Or more) a day
On the weekend of 9 December, I ventured forth to That London (via the south Wales home of the sponsor of this trip, Phil the Prof) to visit old friends I hadn't seen for over a decade - my football team, currently camped out in Wembley, and a uni pal (and room-mate in no less than three student lets) and her family out Wimbledon way.
Setting Out

For this parking spot, Phil paid about £35 upfront

The view from the gods
Half-Time
Full Attention
Tashi the Tibetan Terrier gets on her hind legs
Family Dynamic
Total Tart
Next time, back to that Devon

Part Two
Warning for those of a sensitive disposition: these pics from around 1984 Xmas feature members of my family
Where's Chekhov When You Need Him?
left to right, Good old Auntie Ciss in the murky pinny, Hatchet-Faced Hilda the Xmas Blight, Mum
Newmarket
Ma is obscured in this one. The one on the left is grumpy Aunt Glad. She is how I can date this with confidence, as she died the following year. The token male is the only surviving spouse, Edwin, married to The Hatchet. A friendly and funny man, but cringe-makingly patronisingly racist.
Just for fun, here's the four sisters 55 years before
The Edwards Sisters
1929 or 30. Ciss is in the cloche, the other three in sacks
Toots and Tallulah
Precision
Chris & Penn
Peep Show
back soon, although maybe not tomorrow.

Mostly London in the ’80s, thoroughly unchronologically
Belsize Road, Dawn
View from the flat I lived in 1989-90
Reg Goes for Cool, Misses
1987
Willesden Sunset
1989?
Blue and White
Timeless
Further Adventures in the Dying Light
Also timeless
Freeholb for Sale
Taken on a sentimental trip back to Tottenham. I briefly knew a guy whose parents ran this shop back in the early Sixties.
Ooof
This was the way I walked to school 1959-60. Some time in the early 1980s, they closed the road just beyond the railway bridge and built this socking great thing across it.
more darting about tomorrow
