An Old fashioned pub
We had our first round match of our team 'The Flutterers' tonight. We won!
I love this pub it's nickname is 'The Scrubby'
We had the best chips I have tasted for a long time and some lovely sandwiches

At The Dance
Every month in the summer our superb market manager Ray Dervin puts on a tea dance with a sizable band. Hundreds come of all ages and nationalities and these two are brilliant dancers! Very stylish.The lady below visited us for the first time. She was impressed with the goings on around here!
George.M.Cohan Tonight
The 22nd September was the opening night of this one man show created by our friend Edmund Sutton.
It traced very movingly the story of this great impresario and vaudeville artist. We enjoyed it tremendously and were proud to have played a small part in bringing the show to the theatre.
Here is one enthusiastic supporter on the red carpet

Near the Olympic Park
The new bridge was declared open - and the reception in the pub by the Bridge was very impressive- the best breakfasts served to a mixture of local people, mainly elders, and Olympic Delivery officers
Sadly the engineer who designed the bridge died this year and did not live to see it finished.
Visiting a grand house
As a part of Una's programme of visits from her allotment group we coached to this fantastic
interesting place.
interesting place.Entrance is about £12 but you can buy membership of English Heritage and get the visit free!
Tashi Lhunpo monks
This was a performance of the liturgy of the monks. It was a beautiful setting but very badly staged with too low a dais
Valuation Day
These were the experts who valued any item brought to them for FREE.
Ann and I discovered that our goodies were worthless- no real surprise there.
They hope to have another valuation day near Christmas!

Prince Charles Cinema
Saw this at Prince Charles in Leicester Square- a great place and near our favourite cheap Chinese Hing Loom in Lisle street. You can eat very well here for a fiver.
We saw this brilliant film as part of a vodka promotion- another freebie- the packed audience were, like us, moved to tears by it but this is so much better than schmaltzy- it is hilarious in parts.
With two double vodkas the walk to the bus stop as the rain poured down and the train strike started did not seem at all bad.
It is a wonderful life - just some of the time
