Now we are back from Washington and I have found it very hard to settle. Our part of London now seems very small and parochial. In the few weeks I have not been in the market some shops have closed including rather surprisingly 'The Luxe' Now there is a huge poster of massive cows, presumably queuing for the abattoir, advertising a new steak restaurant I assume. Unless they really are going to build an abattoir on the site.
The market, although it has some very talented people selling crafts, is mostly full of crap which nobody needs. I am dis- satisfied with where I live! Years ago I had a elderly friend who lived in the hear of Covent Garden in a lovely flat. As she knew she was in her last couple of years of life she just wanted a move to Dagenham. She never made it- I now know how she felt. She hated the commercialism of Covent Garden and her only recreation was to throw the occasional bucket of water over the didgeridoo player who begged below her window
