Simon Emmerson aka Simon Booth, Afro Celt /Afro Celt Sound System, the Imagined Village, Working Week and Weekend (the only group I didn't see).


Had a chance encounter with him on a long cross channel ferry sailing, and subsequently said hello at festivals. Only 67 so much more to give


Some nice words from Peter Gabriel

Sad to report the untimely passing of Bobby Caldwell, "Robert Hunter Caldwell was an American singer, songwriter, and musician. He released several albums spanning R&B, soul, jazz, and adult contemporary. He is known for his soulful and versatile vocals."

Fond memories, including a Spitting Image sketch (slightly risque) when Labour got into power in 97.  As a minister she got her private office to cover over the smoke alarm, maybe the last minister to smoke in the office (I'm seeing this from the funny side).

Gordon McQueen, ex Leeds and Man U from a time when the Scotland national team were good.  As much remembered for his bouffant

    • It was indeed in the vicinity of DKH. I live on the ED estate and I could tell it must be close by because of the noise. When I left my house this morning I found the culprits litter still in the middle of the st. It looked like they had lit a whole box on fire in the middle of the road. My cat jumped out of her skin. I’ll try and report it on Southwark website same as I have had to with other illegal use this week. Any other ideas for what we can do with the photos? Maybe one of the Southwark councillors. It’s outrageous and dangerous behaviour. 
    • Had another great meal there…. those that haven’t tried it, give it a go.. have a special lunch menu as well so you can get a flavour of the food. 
    • If you "cotton on" and read the council announcement, it clearly states "The library will be closed from 17 November until late June or early July 2026."  https://www.southwark.gov.uk/2025/dulwich-library-closing-refurbishment
    • I’ve been seeing Lisa at goose green clinic for energy work for a year now.  Lisa is kind, caring and hugely supportive. She is wonderfully masterful and trained as a reiki master for 20 plus years. Alongside other energy work.  My time spent with her is like therapy. An emotional safe space for deep conversations and reflection followed by relaxing and energising healing work.  each experience I’ve had has been different, the end result remains the same. Feel lighter, almost euphoric and almost float home. Definitely an experience not to be missed.  https://www.goosegreenclinic.net/therapies/healing-energy-work/
