"An Emotional Soup..." Long Day's Journey Into Night

How awesome does this sound?

I love David Suchet's cheeky little smile at the end.

Peckham's Past: Alexandra Day in Peckham

I'm loving this video from BFI Films of Peckham in 1913. From YouTube:

Alexandra Rose Day is a charity fundraising event, inaugurated in 1912 on the 50th anniversary of the arrival in England of Alexandra of Denmark for her marriage to the future King Edward VII. This charming film follows a cheerful band of women in Peckham, London, as they sell artificial roses to raise funds for local hospitals.

Can you spot any recognisable buildings from Peckham High Street?

Lauren Laverne: Lovely

Imagine Children's Festival

Doesn't this just make you wish you were a kid again?

Not the kid you were, but one of those London kids who drift up to events like this every other weekend, and just *know* what to do?

I wasn't a London kid. If you'd taken me to an event like this when I was young, I would've been totally overwhelmed. I'd've hated all the choices I was being offered and decisions I was having to make.

The sheer weight of the fun and exciting options I was given would've paralysed me into doing nothing instead.

Which sometimes still happens to me as an adult. Sometimes I hate all the choice.
