Greenwich is one of the coolest "uncool" places there is in London. It's not profoundly unfashionable - rather somewhere where it doesn't occur to people that there is anything more than a few museums, a nice park and the Cutty Sark. The really adventurous might know about the Trafalgar Tavern or venture out to Greenwich market on a Sunday afternoon, but essentially, Greenwich is still relatively undiscovered for one of the great regions of London. I adore Greenwich - but I'm not blind to its faults either. In this journal I take an affectionate but honest - at times brutally so - look, giving my own personal low-down on the things to do - and one or two of the things NOT to do in Greenwich. I am being unashamedly parochial here. I will talk about the tourist sites, of course - how could I not when we have a World Heritage Site on our doorstep - but also about the things which make our town great - the little things. Interesting vistas, cool shops, bizarre novelties and quirky one-offs which make this place buzz. Greetings, by the way, to all of you who have travelled with me from Livejournal - and thank you for making the journey.

Yes there was a real donkey! And it was lovely, even if it did decide to go in the opposite direction to where it was supposed to be going. More about the donkey later...it's a nice story, which may you may well be interested in in the Spring.
The window itself is great too, but is dependant on the owner's laptop. So if anyone has a spare they could lend her between now and 5th January, that would be wonderful. It needs to have powerpoint installed.
Wow - sounds like another complicated one - like that fab window in St Alfege's Passage. I can't wait to see it.
If anyone's got a laptop to lend drop me a line and I'll pass this on to the person above...
