I’m a Scottish Londoner, son of a Cockney, born in Scotland, lived in London for 35 years and lovin’ it. I help artists and charities raise funds for their causes, design socially aware arts projects and try to do my photography projects.

I think you’ve got really good spot, as it happens.

Right behind you. See you later. I’m in the room with the mulled wine. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Drinking coffee is a cultural activity in many different ways. It’s not just the drink itself, the cup or mug you choose and the setting you enjoy it in contribute to the experience. #coffeeculture

Rooftops in Hastings old town in bright sunshine with trees in the background.

To Hastings to co-lead a workshop involving journaling, photography and walking. The sun shone, we had thought provoking conversations, participants enjoyed it and it was great to be working alongside my old colleague Nicky Torode.

What frustrates me in both the US and UK is the way MSM commentators treat political “leaders” now in the way they were treated historically. These are not normal times and the protagonists need to be treated as who they are - authoritarians, racists, liars and grifters. Call them out!

I thought I would share more of my photos on here. Let’s get going with the latest from my walk round my local park this morning. #circus

They were dead wrong on this one. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I love this. I fantasise sometimes about having had the knowledge, presence of mind and temerity to stand up to my teachers in that way.

And rightly so, IMHO.

There’s a real “National Socialism” vibe to Garage’s latest statement about being for working class people - scrapping the 2 child limit etc.

I read that as “who sharted it all.” 🤷🏻‍♂️

Exactly, sometimes the references are really specific to US sports personalities, for instance. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I did it in 45 seconds which is a record for me. It takes me 5 minutes sometimes. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This reminds me of a favourite film, Etre et Avoir, about a village school teacher on the verge of retirement. Very moving. Also, the image of children walking to school through the village in the winter relates. For most of us, the journey to school is formative, wherever we live in the world. 🙂

Yes, you’re nearly Scottish. 😀

I reckon I understand the significance of this achievement in the context but it still seems slightly odd from my British perspective.
