Horniman twinned with Khanenko Museum in Kyiv
The Horniman has signed an agreement to twin with the Khanenko Museum in Kyiv, Ukraine, in an arrangement which will see the cultural exchange of knowledge and support between the two organisations.https://foresthill.org.uk/horniman-twinned-with-khanenko-museum-in-kyiv/
#TodaysWalk was to Honor Oak, Crofton Park, Deptford, Greenwich, Walworth and Camberwell, mostly because I was bored.
It was a nice day, and the catkins were out on the beeches of Brenchley gardens, but, as every silver lining has its cloud, I was much perturbed to witness the egregious abuse of an active-travel facility.
#TodaysWalk was just a grocery run but, feeling weirdly footloose following a forecast that forgot to mention fog, I chose to fetch them from Streatham.
Streatham Common offers, according to a signboard, "spectacular views across South London and to the North Downs", though I can't say that I'd ever noticed before and today was no exception. I did, however, find some admirably tenacious Christmas trees and an arguably interesting bollard.
#TodaysWalk was to see the works at Peckham Square which have begun in earnest with the announcement of the closure of a bicycle rack.
I forgot yesterday's walk, which was to Lewisham and Deptford, where my favourite office equipment shop has been closed for as long as I've known it, and I learnt a little more about the community's literary values.
This is delightful fun: how far back in time can you understand English?
In a fictional travel blog, the author writes about their experience in a small town, jumping back 100 years of English each entry.
