It’s a Long, Long Time from March to November Part 2
I enjoyed doing my last set of March-November photos so I thought I’d finish off the months. We left Nathan and I enjoying lunch on the edge of lockdown 1. It gets worse before it gets better… Thursday 19th In … Continue reading
Wandering Around Walthamstow
I did a couple of posts called “Walthamstow Wanders” around 2015ish. Back then, we were still new to the area and were wandering around because we were discovering things and places and it was all very exciting. Nowadays, the discovery … Continue reading

Legoland – 08/08/20
Well, this is a bit different to the life we’ve been leading for the last few months. A day out at a theme park you say? That’s not in Chingford? How very extreme. I’ll admit I was a little nervous … Continue reading
Kitchener Park – 05/08/20
You know when you visit somewhere in your dreams and then, years later, try to find it in real life? Well, that’s what I thought Kitchener Park was like. Somewhere I dreamt up years ago that doesn’t exist. Certainly, Google … Continue reading
