Another neglected old post, from 2012. I have since written a fair bit about London, but this was my first attempt on this blog.
Until this year, I lived almost all of my life in one or other district of London, starting in Bermondsey and Rotherhithe, which were then working class districts of South-East London. Then there was a gap, when my Dad moved us to Bexley, which was then in Kent but is now a London Borough. I later moved back to Clapham, then to Wandsworth, when I married. Going up in the World, so we believed, we moved the short distance to Wimbledon, where I stayed until 1985, when I moved back to Rotherhithe, specifically the part known as Surrey Docks. This was no longer just a working class district, as the regeneration of Docklands had radically changed both the area, and the people that lived there. After many years there, I eventually found myself in Camden Town, the now fashionable area just North of London’s West End, where I stayed for…

It seems that seven years hasn’t changed my overall opinion of living in London. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

Going to take a risk and say ‘Hi Pete’. I’m new to this blogging fad and read your short post about upgrading. You seemed quite positive at the time of writing. So, any new developments?

I am still very positive about blogging. The upgrade saved me a lot of space to use for photos once the weather improves, as well as losing the ads, and not being very expensive. I still recommend upgrading, if you spend as much time blogging as I do. As far as ‘developments’ go, there haven’t really been any lately, and the community has stayed solid, growing slowly.
Thanks for taking time to read and comment, MBS. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
