Saxophone and clarinet up for grabs

Seen today:

MAPF - a Polish charity shop in Acon, West London, from my favourite seat 'atop' the magic Bus65:

Among donations at Octavia Sheen shop: A book about The Peace Race, a big sports event in the Soviet Block countries:

A record worth checking out, I've been told:

A cute duck-shaped box:

Hair, not for sale:

This book reminded me of the meeting with Prince Jan Zylinski. He told me about the role Buddism has played in his life:

This might be a nice read...

Bargain instruments! A complete clarinet is up for grabs!

Ever wanted to have a saxophone? Now is your chance! Go to East Sheen Octavia shop! 191 Upper Richmond Road!

Of course when did it have to rain? Exactly as I was leaving for home and on the day I left the umbrella at home!

An Easter-themed shop window:

Can you imagine a child wearing this costume???

COME & EXPLORE OAK TOWN

Saturday March 9^th 2019, 1-3 pm

£10pp

Let's meet at 1 pm outside Acton Central Station, which splits the pretty Churchfield Road into two, and walk through Acton Park entering the same way as the annual Acton Carnival procession has entered the park over the recent years.

On the way we will see a brand new school and talk about the Goldsmiths’ Guild, the major benefactors of this part of the former London borough. We shall cross the east west through road, here known as The Vale heading towards Southfields Recreation Grounds which is situated on one of four ancient fields in Acton. The council bought in 1908 from Wilkinson Sword Co. who during World War 1 manufactured over two million bayonets on site.

Then we will stop to see St Peter’s Church which is especially popular with the Italian community and continue towards the long and curved Acton Lane to leave it soon for the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Next we will make our way towards the same east west road which here uses the name of Acton High Street. We shall see more interesting edifices and ponder over the history of Berrymead Priory which was not really a priory. We will visit the newly open Arch Climbing Wall Centre. There will be some surprises on the way too! We will end up at The West London Trade Union Club and you are welcome to stay on and chill out over a drink but bring some food with you or buy some on the way. It's still £10 pp only, mind you!
