Everywhere is so green at the moment. There are poppies among the Marguerite daisies, the hillsides are covered with herbs and shrubs, and the valley if lush with grass. Yesterday, I put on a pair of shorts and went for a walk, so there was some white among the green. Eek. I also wrote more of my next story which is to be called ‘Holywell Street’, and if you want to know what that’s all about, take a look here.
Today, I am hoping a picture I ordered arrives. It’s only a digital file, but for some reason, it takes the London Archives five working days to find the file and email it. I don’t mind though, as it’s coming from the Museum of London, and I wouldn’t have found it anywhere else. It is a drawing of Holywell Street, London, in 1900, just before the street was knocked down to make way for Aldwych. The street, you see, is to play a major part in the next book, and it used to be known as ‘Booksellers’ Row.’ The nature of some of those books however…
Anyway, also today, I hope to be colecting a delivery from the courier in town, I aim to finish chapter seven of this said book (first draft), and I aim to enjoy the sunshine as much as possible, because it looks like it is here to stay, for a few weeks at least. In the meantime, enjoy the green!
