Droop Street

Rain kept us out of the garden for much of the day, although Jackie did manage some planting later on.

I scanned some colour slides from June and July 1974.

The story of our three month occupation of an empty children’s home in Droop Street, London, W.10 is told in my post ‘The Cake Is A Lie’. This is where these photographs were taken.

A selection includes

Observant readers may have spotted that the picture of Becky was used as a model for one of the illustrations to her book.

We dined this evening on chicken Kiev, ratatouille with tomatoes for courgettes, boiled carrots, cauliflower, green beans, and new potatoes. I drank Parra Alta malbec 2015. Jackie had already drunk her Hoegaarden, watching the solar lights come on from a seat in the rose garden.
