I’m the sure the Internet will never believe me but... this evening a neighbour left some gluten-free beer and fever tree tonic water out on the street with a “Free / Take Me” cardboard sign.

I took a beer 🍺 Maybe they are trying to do dry January? 🤷‍♂️

Usually it’s just books, but the great stuff people leave outside here is awesome.

Gotta love no-tech, ultra-local approaches 💕

#RavenscourtPark

Im just in love with this magnificent #londonplane in #ravenscourtpark #w6 i love the way plane trees can normally flare towards the roots but this example is extraordinary #thicktrunktuesday

Watching the final episode of the oft overlooked Sharon Horgan sitcom 'Pulling' and the entrance to my old workplace pops up. The Royal Masonic Hospital was used in a lot of film and tv after it closed in 2006.

I believe the main building will shortly be converted into flats, but the fabric should remain.

#RavenscourtPark

#RavenscourtPark was home to Palingswick Manor (first mentioned 12th century). By the 13th century, this was a mansion with a moat fed by #StamfordBrook. Rebuilt in 1650, it was sold to Thomas Corbett in 1747 and named Ravenscourt (probably due to the raven in his coat of arms).
