Simon Emmerson aka Simon Booth, Afro Celt /Afro Celt Sound System, the Imagined Village, Working Week and Weekend (the only group I didn't see).


Had a chance encounter with him on a long cross channel ferry sailing, and subsequently said hello at festivals. Only 67 so much more to give

Sad to report the untimely passing of Bobby Caldwell, "Robert Hunter Caldwell was an American singer, songwriter, and musician. He released several albums spanning R&B, soul, jazz, and adult contemporary. He is known for his soulful and versatile vocals."

Fond memories, including a Spitting Image sketch (slightly risque) when Labour got into power in 97.  As a minister she got her private office to cover over the smoke alarm, maybe the last minister to smoke in the office (I'm seeing this from the funny side).

Gordon McQueen, ex Leeds and Man U from a time when the Scotland national team were good.  As much remembered for his bouffant

    • If you're thinking about a newborn or family photoshoot this spring, I have one weekend slot left (either 25 or 26 April) for Dulwich families only.  Who am I? I'm a local photographer, specialising in reportage-style family photography. I work with modern families who value authentic, meaningful photographs but feel uneasy about posing or staging. Through my relaxed home photoshoots, I capture the beauty of everyday family life, creating timeless images that are deeply personal and uniquely yours. For the last two years, I’ve been ranked among the top 10 documentary family photographers in the UK. My work has been featured in Vogue and Grazia. If you're interested, start by downloading my brochure here, to find out about my sessions, pricing and style. Fran 
    • Nah, the lines are applied hot and cool down quickly so the trucker didnt have to wait more than 5 minutes. The good news is that the owner drove the car away around 5pm without a ticket.  
    • East Dulwich Grove is currently closed to a Thames Water leak also, with diversions for the 37 and 42. 
    • There is a small tabby cat which seems quite distressed and lost behind the bins outside the back yard of Superdrug at the Lordship Lane end of North Cross Road. It is terrified, running in and out of Superdrug’s back yard and across the road and back again, and looks as if it could be pregnant. It is also starving – a passer was feeding it. We weren’t able to catch it as it was too scared. Did ask the Neighbourhood Vet if anyone has reported a missing cat, but they said not.
