I've been a bit busy the last weeks or so and not had much time for photography or Flickr. I will try to catch up with all your wonderful uploads. On my recent trip to London, I saw this old piano outside a building looking very sorry for itself. Loved the rotten wooden keys against the greenery surrounding it.
Really appreciate all your comments and favourites.
Cold but bright and sunny weather this week so decided to try for a sunset.
You are still not able to walk round Great Pond, in conversation with the warden she said the reason was that during Storm Babet the bridge over the Decoy Pond outlet was washed away. She said they hope to have a temporary bridge in place in the next week or so. The path around Miller's Pond is now open; again in Storm Babet the pond overflowed and washed part of the dam wall away.
We've had a lot of named storms this winter which in my opinion is obviously down to climate change. What does our government think is the answer; drill more oil wells in the North Sea; pathetic!
I had to go through to Dartford today, for "bloods" and while I awaited my return train I reflected, as is my wont, on Dartford's fame. For it was here, more than 60 years passed, that two teens, Michael Jagger and Keith Richards met - on Platform 2, not Platform 4, which this is. I love the Stones, up to about 1971, after which I like the occasional song, but not a lot. I also believe that, had I been the parent of a teenage girl in 1964 or thereabouts the one I'd have been most frightened of, going by their looks on stage, was Bill Wyman, who was magnificently, malevolently cool, in spite of having grown up in Penge (Penge ! I ask you...) and originally named Perks. Or perhaps these were his spur to greatness. He should tell us.
The station has a gold pillar box, a mystery to me. I will find out...
This is not an advert. I am sharing this picture from my mobile phone to show my latest go to to help a little this clears my throat wonderfully well. I am not trying to promote it into your life, rather showing you what I enjoying in mine and that I like this image too. The label to me evokes cures and tonics as of old. I have no idea of any benefits. The vinegar is a strong shot for my throat and here I have the label ready for my curious memory.

The shutters are down at Gordon Gardens cafe, wisely.
The cafe serves the "leisure area" by the River Thames at Gravesend and is open in all sorts of weather, I reckon providing shelter as well as teas and nice things.
I sat for a few minutes on the "front", sensibly wrapped up and escaped before long to the area behind the cafe, which is less windy and less cold. Horrible light and nothing to see...
