Best Beckenham secret walk
Ask any of the good citizens of Beckenham what their favourite walk is, they may well tell you about the historic Beckenham Place Park, or Beck Rec with its famous (recently renovated) 'David Bowie' bandstand. For me, one of the best places to walk, or bicycle, is along the Pool River from Cator Park to Catford. My journey on this fine April day began at New Beckenham Station, where I enjoyed a coffee from a wagon parked outside, before walking to the toward the Harris Academy school. Before you reach the school, you can pick up the footpath on the right, immediately before the school's sports hall.

Blooming in Bethlem
Always a delight to wander around parklands, gardens and other open spaces in the springtime. Such a riot of colour and a pleasant assault on the senses. In such surroundings who can resist whipping out their smart phone and taking a few snaps as a reminder of what springtime has to offer.

Powerful painful empowering
Not an easy exhibition to see, Lost in Parys describes in painful detail the love and loss of a mother following her son's death at the age of 19. Artist Alison Lapper is perhaps best known as the subject of a nude sculpture by Marc Quinn, which was mounted in Trafalgar Square, London, between 2005 and 2007. Controversial at the time and drawing the obvious idiotic comments about nudity, beauty, the female form and whether pregnancy and disability were suitable subjects to put on display in a public place. These days one would hope that the world is a little more tolerant and a lot more understanding.

Raise a clenched fist to International Women's DayTop Story - March 2024
Not for me to say what International Women's Day should be or what it should celebrate. I only say what it used to be, what it started out as, in the melting pot of European and American red revolutionary movements of the early 20th century.
