Blomfield Road . June 2006

Along Blomfield Road a Black Porsche Cayenne muscles its way past me, its alienated occupants, hidden by darkened glass, seemingly oblivious to humans living on Planet Earth. To my side Narrowboats perched on the Regents Canal are homes for people living in long corridors - I wonder what it would be like to live in a long corridor. Further down the canal I'll be meeting the Nomads at the Waterside Cafe in Little Venice for a photo-cafe-walk.

There's usually a Porch at the end of a long corridor!
Ed Williamson (PRS) used to own a narrowboat and it was surprisingly roomy... a bit of a bugger to do a three point turn though.

Funny hi, and thanks .. bicycles and SUVs don't really mix - be nice to get rid of the SUVs .. but I think the price of oil will be going through the roof in a few years time, so that'll hopefully reduce these rather threatening vehicles from our streets.

The New Urbanists like Porches, especially when they face the street to help create a convivial community atmosphere.
I remember meeting Ed .. back in the 70s!! .. He seemed very convivial - was that to do with living on a narrow boat?

Greg, everything changes, we move on, we come back - sometimes .. and when it all gets too much we eat chips ('english fries').
