Words

On our way back to the 18 bus stop, on Harrow Road, to make the walk a little more interesting (and as I couldn't be bothered to put my camera away) I played a little game with Lookie; to see what random words we could find along the route. Here are a few. I got some very funny looks from people, the more excited I became at finding indiscriminate words on things, pointing them out to Lookie and lining up my camera.

Golborne

On Saturday morning, Little Lookie and I took a stroll on my favourite walk; through Kensal Road, down the mighty Golborne road, along Portobello to Coffee Plant and back again. It was rather cold and drizzly but, and didn't seem as photogenic as usual, but made me feel extremely grateful and privileged to live where I do, as this walk always does.
There's a wonderful new photographic installation along the long wall at the north end of Portobello, by Natasha Mason and Teresa Crawley, of record sleeves from artists who have a link to North Kensington.

Trellick

The Trellick looked just as magnificent as ever on Saturday morning.

Passport

It's been a big week for little Lookie so far, not only has he been baptised, he's had his first haircut but he's also just received his first passport.
It's very reassuring that he now bears Her Britannic Majesty's request that he should be allowed 'to pass freely without let or hindrance' and that he should be afforded 'such assistance and protection as may be necessary'. Isn't that a great thing to have.
