Here we are again.
The Boy from the Country, the Boy from the City lifestyle continues to ride - for now, at least.
It wasn’t the most Sunny of Stockwell landscapes that greeted me when I touched down in SW8 this afternoon.But I’m a Transpontine optimist. I see beauty even in the SW8 drizzle.
I did the usual thing of stopping by the War Memorial Gardens for the obligatory snaps. Brian Barnes' Stockwell masterpiece is looking increasingly jaded and in need of some TLC.
The local Labour Councillors did organise a touch up and repaint around a decade ago. But the proud pictures from Stockwell’s past - historic, not Labour Councillors - are once again calling out to be tarted up.
Local government budgets means that this is highly unlikely. Sadly Brian is no longer with us to help with the effort.
You can take the boy out of Sunny Stockwell…
