Abandoned on the A1
August 21st, 2006 - 3:52pm
A burning hot August day and a long drive from London to Leeds on the A1, the driver needs to stop so we pull into a petrol station mockingly signposted "Services" - they don't even sell tea. While the driver sleeps I wander round the back and find that this was once indeed a motorway services, but the main building has fallen into dereliction. When I try the door, it swings open.

I've slowly been making my way through "The Earliest English Poems" over the last few weeks. It's very rewarding and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Summer Blaze Down

DMZ, Saturday 8th July - a dark room and two stacks of speakers, bass rattling ear drums, nostrils, hard in the chest. A sweatbox in the middle of one of London's hottest ever summers. There's an old school feel, not jungle or hardcore but back to 1990 standing round the edge of the dancefloor, waiting for enough people to arrive so you can spread out. And the music - something like this comes round every ten years or so: it sounds like it's beamed in from Mars.

Skeletons and Polyps

Some photos of the brilliantly old-fashioned and creepy natural history collection at the Horniman Museum, Forest Hill, south London. Looks like I've finally found a use for the sepia function on my camera.

The Ruins of Margate

Keeping with the seaside theme, I thought I'd post some rather sad photos I took in Margate last summer.

The Sultan's Elephant

I was hungover and just wanted to get myself to bed after work on Friday - but there was a mechanical elephant tramping around central London, and you don't see one of those very often.
