I visited the Centre on one of its late opening evenings; the weather was cloudy with sunny periods, and just as I arrived there was a prolonged spell of low sunshine against a cloudy sky. I took a number of photos but couldn't get the swans to oblige and both take their necks out of the water together! If you look very closely you can see one of the floodlights from the nearby Fulham football ground!

Today was a very important day in English football. The FA Cup is the oldest football competition in the world, dating from 1871 and is unique in that all teams, from top premiership teams to amateur village teams can compete. Today was the 3rd round when the top teams enter the competition and could be drawn against "minnows" from lower leagues.
This photo was taken before today's game at Craven Cottage between Fulham and Charlton Athlectic. Fulham won 4-0 with a hat-trick from American international Clint Dempsey.......Yes, the Americans can play proper football !!

Fulham players embrace after scoring their winning second goal. Behind David James goes to pick the ball from the back of the net - again!
In the dieing minutes of the game, Man City won a free kick deep in the Fulham half. David James came rushing down to assist his team trying to equalise. As the ball arrived at his feet, James took a big swipe, but totally missed the ball! Fulham gained possession and was on the attack with James just standing dejected in the Fulham half. He didn't even run back in a vain attempt to defend his goal. It was truly unfortunate Fulham didn't score - it would have been so funny!
Portrait by Yiannis Moralis of Maria Roussen who married my father John Baddeley in 1949. This painting hangs in the Greek National Gallery. Maria died in Nov 2005 and is buried beside her late husband's ashes in All Souls Kensal Green Cemetery in north west London. Before she met my father she was married to the painter Yianni Moralis who did this portrait of her and remained a friend of our family.

Maria Baddeley: a tribute from my brother George in November 2005
Our mother, Maria Baddeley, was born Maria Roussen to Pericles and Lilly Roussen in Athens on 26th August 1916.
Mum was the middle child of five daughters: her sisters being Janina, Emily, Dolly and Nora. Her father, Pericles, was Admiral of the Greek naval fleet. She adored her father who used to tease her affectionately: anticipating a boy, he nick-named her “Mario”. The five siblings, known as the “Roussen sisters” were a glamorous and much sought after part of the Athens social scene during the hectic interwar period. However, this picture of a happy family life was rudely interrupted when Pericles Roussen’s principled monarchist beliefs led to his imprisonment for refusing to jeopardize the Greek fleet (See democracystreet.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/maria-roussen-by-m...
also
His 'crime' was that he refused to order his ships to fire on fellow Greeks, even tho' they were defined by their actions at the time as 'rebels') This caused his early death and the circumstances of the family changed dramatically. The young Maria was forced to abandon her education and take up a job working for an Athens power company.
Our mother, who was always one of life’s natural bohemians, was greatly attracted to Athens’s literary and artistic community. In her early twenties, she became the model and inspirational subject of portraits by both her first husband, Yiannis Moralis, and other Greek painters including Yiannis Tsarouchis. Yiannis Moralis’s iconic portrait of Maria is now displayed in the National Gallery of Greece. She herself was also inspired to paint at this time and displayed an artistic talent that has been inherited by many of her grandchildren.
During the German occupation and the ensuing Greek Civil War, along with all Greeks, she experienced great hardship and, in the prevailing chaos, she met and fell in love with John Halkett Baddeley, our father 'Johnnie.' She was introduced to Johnnie, who had been posted to the British Embassy in Athens, and soon after they married. Johnnie was captivated by Maria’s exoticism and beauty and Maria was equally captivated by his charm and English manners. They had a very happy, fruitful and loving marriage.
After their marriage and, as the family started to grow, our mother embarked on life as a diplomat’s wife. Their combined charm and shared sense of humour and, especially Mum’s tremendous ability to empathise and make friends with people from all cultures and all walks of life, gave Dad vital support in his work. Together, they were a great gift to the diplomatic community of the time. Through the 1950’s and early 1960’s, our mother and the growing family accompanied our father on postings to Hong Kong, Singapore, Burma and Belgium.
Mum had four children, Dorothy, Miranda, Oriana and me and she was a stepmother to Simon and Bay. In the early 1960s, Dad was posted permanently to the Foreign Office in London and the family moved to Sussex where Maria presided over a large house in Crawley where countless friends, relatives and diplomatic colleagues were welcomed, wined and dined in seemingly endless Sunday lunches.
Once their children had left the family nest, Dad took up a new post at the British Embassy in Washington DC. Soon afterwards, Mum was left heartbroken as Dad became seriously ill and, several months later, died of cancer.
After this terrible shock, Mum moved to Fulham where, while putting her life together again, she developed a passion for Fulham Football Club, now shared by many members of her family.
From the mid eighties onwards, Mum divided her time between Greece, Switzerland and England. Despite her somewhat nomadic existence, she still created a home. This ‘home’ included, but went beyond, family and geographical boundaries. It was built from her personality, from her interest in us all, her intellectual curiosity and, most of all, her generous heart. This enabled her to see more of her extensive family, while also playing hostess to her wide circle of friends.
In her later life, Mum flourished yet again as a loving and extremely popular grand mother, or rather “Granma.” Apart from all her grandchildren, she also had many great nieces, nephews and other young friends. It came naturally to her to show the same consideration to each one of them and she was loved dearly by all. They would often take turns to attend her renowned late night soirees. As all of us who are here today know, she was also a great friend to so many people who were very special to her: each person had their own unique relationship with her. She never forgot a birthday and she was renowned for her generosity.
Mum had the discretion that was to be expected of a diplomat’s wife. She was someone in whom people could confide. They knew that they could speak to her at any time, although preferably after sunset!
In recent years, Mum became increasingly frail (in body, not mind!). She had many people who helped and supported her. She made sure that they were all loved and cared for in return, as if they were a part of her own family.
Maria, Mum, Granma, was a devoted wife, a loving mother and aunt, a massively popular grandmother and a loyal friend. She was unique and irreplaceable. Over the years, she often spoke of her dream to be reunited with her beloved husband. Now, at last, they are together again.
