With a few minutes left of being in my 20s, I thought I’d reflect back on that tricky decade of life. First though I need a beer. BRB. Ahhhh. That’s better. My dear left handed chum Oprah Winfrey was not shy in doling out advice on her show. I started watching Oprah in 2002 when [...]

Progression of Spring
Below are a series of photos of the avenue of Horse Chestnuts in Tooting Bec Common. You may remember Tooting Bec Common as the first part of my London Parks and Gardens series. I will take more pictures as the year goes on, but I wanted to share what I had so far. Horse Chestnuts [...]

Urban Agriculture on Brownfields
I was going to post this to Facebook, but I thought I’d take into consideration those friends of my who already are spammed by my interests and articles far too much and go ahead and put this on my website. I doubt anyone will click the link any ways. Within the last 5 years there’s [...]

Easter Monday
Today I’m not so sure about a lot of things. Probably due to being under-employed. And it’s been very cloudy and rainy in the last week. Plus it’s the end of a holiday weekend. Yes, indeed all of this has left me far to contemplative for my own good. I think I need to get [...]

BKLPAG Part 4: Beddington Park
I don’t think I could have chosen a finer week to become unemployed. The weather has been great as we change from Winter to Spring this week. And to celebrate (?) my freedom from work (hopefully just very very temporary) I treated myself to a bicycle tour of an unexplored part of London. I checked [...]

The park is in Highgate in northern London just next to Highgate Cemetery and Hampstead Heath. The park has been fairly recently restored by the local council. I walked into [...]

A quick hello
Life is frantic! Non-stop crazy times here at the moment. Had a couple friends in from the states this weekend. Really good time. But I didn’t get my weekend time to recharge my life batteries. Compounded with excessive drinking, well, yeah. I should feel a lot worse than I do, so I won’t complain too [...]

Ask away
Hi everyone. I think I had a half decent idea on my commute home the other day in regards to this blog. There are a lot of regular readers to the site. I know this because I see the site stats. Literally 10s of you make it a habit of checking back to this website. [...]

BKLPAG Part 2: Regent Square Garden
Tucked off busy Gray’s Inn Road, just to the south of King’s Cross/St Pancras Stations in the heart of London is the small square Regent Square Garden. It was named after Prince Regent who eventually became King George IV. The square is not on the way to anything in particular, so unless you’ve done [...]

Sunday mornings
Another lovely Sunday morning here in SW London. My laundry is done and out on the line drying away in the semi-warm February Sun. Neighbor cats are running around our backyard. I’ve already had 3 cups of tea, de-molded our bathroom (it was super serious) and my traditional Sunday breakfast of cheesy garlic potatoes is [...]
