Poor JIm. But he had a good life, and was a very nice chap.
I don't think I have seen him since I left Canters, but he is on the wall of my study together with all my other colleagues and pals in…"

It is that wonderful time of year when apple, plum and pear trees have more fruit than you can eat. If you have fruit trees in your garden, please do not let it go to waste or just compost it.Pop any surplus fruit in a box on the pavement or the wall outside your house with a note to people to take what they wish. If you have any clean plastic bags you could pop a few of them in the box also to make it easier for people to take some fruit home. Lots of blackberries for the picking, and it is…See More

Horse trough bashed and Finsbury railings smashed
On February 4th late afternoon/evening a car (reg X939CLL) smashed into the Horse Trough on Nightingale Rd outside Finsbury Gardens. Probably at the same time a car smashed into the railings by the phone box just round the corner in Finsbury Road.The horse trough needs to be safely replaced on its base, and the railings repaired.The Bowes Park Community Association got grants and organised the repair and repainting of the lovely late Victorian Finsbury Gardens railings, and we also 'look…See More

Even so, I was sad to see it go, though I don't think I have ever used it and it wasn't a 'heritage ' phone box. A little bit of history gone now.See More
