http://spitalfieldslife.com/2011/04/16/the-labour-wait-brush-museum
In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London. The Labour and Wait Brush Museum. April 16, 2011. By the gentle author. When connoisseurs of traditional hardware, Simon Watkins and Rachel Wythe-Moran, opened Labour and Wait. In Spitalfields ten years ago, the very first item of stock to arrive in their shop was a wooden handbrush, but – as you can see from the picture above – there have been developments over the intervening decade. Over the ...

A Stray Field in South London | Richly Evocative
https://richlyevocative.net/2015/02/04/a-stray-field-in-south-london
Places, books and other diversions. Read, bought, recovered. Movember 2012 Tache Tales. A Stray Field in South London. February 4, 2015. I walk past often, but rarely go in. Sitting right on the border of the London Boroughs of Southwark and Lambeth, Long Meadow isn’t especially attractive, but I like the fact that it is there a stray patch of public, tree-lined green space amongst marching rows of suburban streets. Mostly, though, I pay Long Meadow no mind. Dee’s beautifully observed thoughts and descri...

A half-hidden route to the past: Bristol’s Johnny Ball Lane | Richly Evocative
https://richlyevocative.net/2016/12/12/a-half-hidden-route-to-the-past-bristols-johnny-ball-lane
Places, books and other diversions. Read, bought, recovered. Movember 2012 Tache Tales. A half-hidden route to the past: Bristol’s Johnny Ball Lane. December 12, 2016. How one obscure Bristol back-alley runs through two thousand years of history: from Romano-British settlements, to Grey Friars, pauper’s burial grounds, cutpurses and wasted Walnut trees. For a long time it didn’t have a name. It was just the lane that ran along the back of Mum and Dad’s bookshop. Sometimes I’d dare a peek over the top of ...

The Octogon: The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
http://theliteraryoctogon.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-picture-of-dorian-gray-by-oscar.html
The true university these days is a collection of books. Saturday, 27 April 2013. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. This one, you may remember, was one of the titles I was challenged to read last year by my work colleague BD, after he had enjoyed it. I have only just got around to reading it earlier this year after finding this copy with a very attractive cover picture. I knew of the story but had never read the book, Wilde's only novel, and was keen to do so. How sad it is! Ch 4, p 53). Wilde's...
