London Life goes Provençal.
My partner and I are going on holiday to Aix-en-Provence, France, and we’ll be back on August 28th. It’s my third trip to France, the first being a two week family holiday to one of the most beautiful villages in France, Aubeterre-sur-Dronne (which is situated in the south Charente); about 50 miles northeast of Bordeaux. This was in 1989, when I was only 15 years old, which happened...

Ask me about the English Riots. →
What began as ‘the Tottenham Riot’ became ‘the London Riots’, and then ‘the English Riots’ but to set the record straight, as there were no riots in Wales or Scotland the term ‘UK riots’ is incorrect.  The UK comprises England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.  Another minor irritation for me and other residents is that the riots in my...

The Clapham Junction riots: My eyewitness account. By now the whole world has heard of ‘The English Riots’ that started last weekend in Tottenham, north London, in response to the fatal shooting of Mark Duggan the previous Thursday night. I thought I’d write an account and upload my short video of the destruction that took place last Monday night in my local neighbourhood. I’d seen a few tweets...

The Tottenham Riot in London.
I spent the weekend with my partner and cousin-in-law visiting friends in Nottingham, but awoke this morning to news of major scale rioting and looting in a deprived part of north London called Tottenham, apparently caused by resentment at the police shooting of Tottenham resident Mark Duggan, last Thursday. I was considering heading up there to take pictures of the carnage, but after following...

Do I have haters?
I was interviewed the other day by the lovely Elisabeth, a fellow Tumblr and esteemed copywriter. I was sharing with her about the rare times I’d had the temerity to comment about losing followers since Tumblr did away with the Directory (when I got lambasted for apparently not focusing enough on building relationships with individual followers). In the States, these lovely people are...
