Telephone boxes on Westminster bridge

 

ℒ𝑜𝓃𝒹𝑜𝓃 𝒫𝒽𝑜𝓃𝑒𝒷𝑜𝓍𝑒𝓈 
Before mobile phones became main stream and affordable we all had to rely on public phone boxes, these are actually from way before my time. When I was young they had already evolved into all glass boxes with a British Telecom bugler stencilled on the side. 

Because they are iconic and associated with London they are still in situ on popular tourist places in London, these two are in a poor state of repair with faded paint and stickers plastered all over them. But they tell their own story and the fact they are still there after I guess 70 years of abuse is a testament to their design. 

If you’re are looking for a phone box in top condition for a photo opportunity then Covent Garden is probably the bes,t it’s out in the open with lots of light and its well maintained. 

If you’re a Dr Who fan the Earls Court should be your stop for the only accessible police call box the other being in Hendon police collage.

Have fun stay safe 👍🏻

Sales, shopping and storms

Image
  Last night I listed some of the golf balls on eBay, the Titleist Pro V1’s and the TruFeel’s. Now it’s a crowded market on eBay so I placed them on promotion to be listed top. This morning I had sold both listings not for much but it’s a start.  After a quick visit to Tesco it was down to the local parcel shop to send them off.  It was an afternoon of preparing more golf balls to be listed and then a quick walk up Rowley lane and a big haul of 28 balls. When I inspected them at home three of the more valuable ones had small splits so we’re condemned to the bin.  I’ll keep you posted on more sales, have fun stay safe 👍🏼

Afternoon walk

Image
  It was an afternoon walk, I headed up to Rowley path as I feel there might have been a few Christmas golfers. I made it up to the top of the path and back. I found 11 balls today which was good going. The farmer had also been out with the chainsaw making the path safe by cutting some fallen trees. He’d left a can of two stroke petrol/oil mix near the tree so I grabbed it and left it on a fence post near to the farm for them to find in the daylight. It was a nice walk, I’ve finished Phoenix and I’m onto a new book so look out for a bad review.  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

Windsor farm shop, local gangster and afternoon walk

Image
  Windsor farm shop It was a lunch time visit to Windsor farm shop to get some treats before the weekly food shop. The car park was extremely busy as there’s a fish monger who’s there on Pop up fish monger   Windsor farm shop Thursdays between 11-2. He must have some good stock for sale at a good price because there was a very long queue st his pop up stall.  Wexham Gangster  What did we get from the far shop, well I picked up a beef and Stilton small pie and an old Windsor pasty for tomorrow after work and we also bought a chicken smd mushroom pie . I have to say the beef and Stilton pie was extremely rich so be warned. The chicken and mushroom pie was very nice and I’d highly recommend.  Passion flower     After lunch had settled it was out for a walk I picked up the WeWard cards I was missing and along the way bumped into Wexham’s new gangster a cute cat who’s taken residence on Mirridor Crescent . It was a walk up Rowley footpath and 21 golf...
