boris who?
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008
As an inhabitant of the Coldharbour ward, which really is a very small part of South East London (as we know a ward should contain 5,500 people), I was very pleased to learn that my ward came bottom of the list for votes for our new mayor. Coldharbour had the lowest proportion of votes for [...]

Cool Camping
Monday, May 28th, 2007
The bank holiday weekend took us on a long weekend break to the Isle of Wight. We opted to stay at in Brighstone at a camp site that Sarah once took an extended break at as a child. It just so happens that this camp site, beautifully situated at the edge of a cliff at [...]
May Showers

What happened to the weather? April was dry, hot and sunny, and all of a sudden it is consistently colder and wetter (or at least it is in London, I assume the same for the UK). I’ve been meaning to take a photo from my office window to illustrate an upcoming blog post, but the [...]
Organic food comes to Coldharbour Lane
Sunday, April 15th, 2007
Despite technically being in leafy Herne Hill, we live on the fringes of Brixton and Camberwell, and our flat is a stones throw from Coldharbour Lane. This is one of London’s most notorious roads, at least according to (the unverified facts on) Wikipedia. It was with great excitement that the other week I spotted (from [...]

There’s more to see in the missing photos department. I even thought these pictures had gone missing during the move from one laptop to another, but I found them backed up. Here we have a moderate sized gallery of pictures from our adventure across Denmark in September. The route took us to Newcastle, Gothenburg (by [...]
new photo
Thursday, March 22nd, 2007
Two new photo galleries have appeared in my photo gallery. There has been a bit of backlog of photos to appear online caused by the old 4angle running out of hard drive space. We now have a new home on our own shiny little box (it’s one of these) in Sovereign House, which has considerably [...]
Get out and walk
Wednesday, February 28th, 2007
It is all too easy to get around London. People take the tube from a to b without thinking about where these places are in real life. Afterall, the tube map is an abstraction of real life. I particularly enjoyed the walking tube map of London (via some art students). It tells you how long [...]

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006
The weekend before last I took myself on a brief excurtion to the Isle of Arran. I cycled around the perimeter of the island – easily done in only a few hours. The results are here:
