True story: it was cold on that fateful day. Mum and Dad were driving up Cricklewood Lane where they planned to pick me up from school. I was 12. I normally walked home by myself, so it was quite unusual that they would pick me up. I don’t remember what the occasion was, what I DO know (1/2)

Helpppp! Do you use music with your storytelling? Drumming, singing, recorded music or instrumentals? We need 3 tellers to demonstrate their practice this month at our free Storytelling workshop in Waterloo. (Sept is looking busy, seems lots of people are interested in music and stories!)

Throwback Saturday #rhps London Shadowcast 1989. I am Columbia. #RockyHorrorPictureShow #charmingUnderclothes
A Rocky horror shadowcast in a cinema. We are all dressed in Rocky horror costumes not very screen accurate but it was before a time when the rocky horror VHS was available (and also before the time when you could easily buy costume parts online) so rather difficult to get screen accurate costumes

in the year 2000 I went to Cornwall, hoping to see the #eclipse unfortunately I had to go home early. So I was on the train, looking across at the coast about a mile away. At the moment of totality everyone’s cameras started flashing. HUNDREDS of cameras going off together along the coast.

I really don’t know what to say about these antique door handles at UCL medical school. They have been worn to a shine in various places.
Brass door handles from around 1910 in the shape of a naked man and a naked woman.
