Still My Leader

You know, I am totally unreconstructed ! Over 200000 members have left the Labour Party since Keith Starmer became to new Labour Party leader in UK.

The new Series of The Apprentice  looks like shit.

One of my longest & most loyal and regular visitors on this blog  .

A brilliant photographer and massive music man.

Ken's 85th Birthday

I took part in my first ever ZOOM Conference tonight.
It was to mark the 85th birthday of Ken who was the Head Warden of Carter Lane YHA Hostel in St Pauls ,City of London.
 I worked there in 1971.
 I must admit i find these  video conferences a bit weird .Especially this one, as I only knew a couple of people .A bit like attending a School Reunion with people I didn't go to school with.....
Still ,nice to see & hear Ken who looks & sounds remakably agile.

in the woods today, below King David's house.
