this sign is particularly vague.  well done

if i walk to my office from ealing broadway station (takes about an hour) then i get to pass a couple of charity shops.

and often on a monday morning there's stuff outside left by anonymous weekend donators.  and often it's been inspected by passers by and the good bits taken away.

but it ends up being like the shop has spilled out in the street, and i for one am attracted by the rich seam of bric-a-brac and randomness

all that in something the size of a mains plug.  amazing.

we met this chap yesterday at the end of our thames path segment. He is walking the thames for the Institute of Cancer Research and kindly let me take his photo.

my lovely wife jane and her friend lynn are doing the London to Brighton Bike Ride on the 19th June.

they are raising money for the British Heart Foundation and the local pre-school (which kezia goes to, and esther used to go to).

if you fancy sponsoring her then you can donate to the British Heart Foundation via her online page

or, if we know you in the real world, you might like to sponsor for the preschool in person.
