Grey day in Wanstead
This morning started very grey and wet. This shot of the United Reformed Church in Wanstead reflects the sombreness of the weather.

The former Doctor Johnson pub
The Doctor Johnson pub on Longwood Gardens has been closed for several years now with no sign of any development taking place. Interestingly, this morning while I was taking some shots, another guy was taking photos of the pub on his phone. I wonder if we will see some future for this 'eyesore' of an unloved and somewhat derelict building........
Here is part of the entry for the pub on the CAMRA website:
"One of the best examples anywhere to show how a typical, large,
1930s housing estate pub might have looked. It is in the popular,
loosely neo-Georgian style combined with 1930s Art Deco
streamlining – whence with broad curve which turns the corner
from one elevation to the other. The Doctor Johnson opened in
1938 and was designed by the architect H. Reginald Ross for
Courage."

Why did the fungi leave the party ?
Why did the fungi leave the party ? Because there wasn't mushroom ! Sorry about the poor pun. This photo was taken on Hampstead Heath where the fungi was out in force after the recent wet weather.

Trick or treat........
Halloween must be getting near. It always amazes me how parents tell their offsprings not to accept sweets from strangers but then let them take a treat on Halloween. This tradition is possibly an American import we could have done without ?

248 yards ahead.......
Did someone really measure the distance to the width restriction......surely an approximation of 250 yards would have done ? Does the younger generation still measure in yards? 7' 0" must baffle a few people as well ......
It's raining again............
It's raining again...........oh no, its raining again ! That Supertramp song is perfect to describe the last few days.

Last day of summer..........
The leaves on the Sumac tree in our garden are displaying a range of autumnal colours- signifying the end of the long Summer.
