We haven’t had any for so long! Even this brief shower got us Lambeth Tour Guides excited for some rain. Hopefully cooler days are coming soon 🌧️ #rain #summer #lambethtourguides #halfmoonpub #hernehill

Adore this painting of Ellen Terry as Lady Macbeth by John Singer Sargent from 1889. Spookily enough, Jo and I were wandering through Tate Britain talking about Sargent and his paintings when I spotted this painting in a side corridor. A poignant moment 💚 #johnsingersargent #tatebritain

Out walk scouting yesterday with Em and we came across this familiar chap … LND_188 by French artist Invader AKA Alex DeLarge from A Clockwork Orange 🍊 #streetart #alexdelarge #invader #aclockworkorange #southbank

Was so surprised on a recent visit to the Science Museum to come across this shop front for Gibson & Sons Chemist and Opticians. The original Victorian pharmacy established in Hexham, Northumberland in 1834 and was donated to the museum when it closed in 1978 🤓 #gibsonandsons #sciencemuseum

My annual photo of my neighbour’s incredible lavender crop. It smells amazing 💜 #lavender #flowers #nature #brixtonwaterlane #brixton

So a man actually sat on me on the bus. He was really heavy and it really hurt 😖

Last night we attended the Closing Party for the Brixton Bugle and Blog Summer Art Show and lots of fun was had. Prizes were awarded and Jo and I took turns to be blinded by the setting sun in front of her amazing art entry to the show. #brixtonbugle #bbbsummerartshow #brixtonlibrary #brixton

Lovely lunch yesterday with Sister Jeff and then off to Ancient Greece seeing The Odyssey at IMAX Leicester Square. Nolan didn’t disappoint ⚔️ #sisterjeff #lunch #theodyssey #imax #leicestersquare

Shoutout to local Brixton legend Jumping Jack Frost who is celebrating the 30th Anniversary of his track Burial 🖤 #jumpingjackfrost #burial #30thanniversary #dj #brixton

I finished #theboroughs. Thought it was really sweet. Seen people complaining it has been cancelled after S1 but I feel like the story was told and that’s fine 🚀

Fake roasting again. But it was yummy 🍗

Amazing summer catch up with our Amy yesterday exploring Penge ❤️❤️ #oldfriends #catchup #summer #penge #london

Bursting With Pride … Here is how Capital Gay newspaper reported the 1992 Europride in Brockwell Park. There are still tickets to our LGBTQ+ History walk next Saturday where we will tell you about the three National Pride events that took place there in the early 90s 1/2

My neighbour’s fabulous sweet peas. They’re a favourite of my Mum’s and made me think of her 💖 #sweetpeas #flowers #mum #poetscorner #hernehill

Finally finished #theboys last night. I have mixed feelings over this. The last 2 series weren’t the best and this last it really felt like they ran out of budget. And yet overall I don’t think I’ve watched any TV show that had such great character development. Amazing stuff 🦸🏼‍♂️
