Latimer Road tube station Gwen taking a test drive down Mill Lane

Latimer Road tube station

This was the local tube station to Watchmaker, on the Hammersmith and City Line. Sometimes I waited ages here for a train. Clearly on this day 10 years ago it was a beautiful evening and not much hardship to hang out there under the muggy heat of the pinkish sky.

View from the Chrysalis Building Dexter enjoys some ‘tummy time’ at Baby yoga, Willesden Green

View from the Chrysalis Building

By now I was working on my last job of 1999: Producing the archive content for the ITV end of the Millennium Show presented by Clive James. The show was made by Watchmaker Productions, a company that doesn’t exist anymore but which at the time was run by Elaine Bedell and Richard Drewitt. The offices were in West London, a stone’s throw from the Westway. This view is across a kind of no mans’ land of warehouses and small industrial units, sliced up by the big roads and the tube lines.

Oh the joys of flat-sharing....

Digging up the pavements, Fordwych Road

It sometimes seems to me and Dexter that which ever way we go there is always someone digging up the pavements.

Me holding Hayley #1’s baby, Greenwich

As you can see the big wet stain on my skirt and my bedraggled hair we had just been caught out in a thunderstorm. Hayley was one of RT’s ex-girlfriends. The other was known (by me) as Hayley #2.

Julia Pettigrew 8 months pregnant

It was a very hot Friday night when Julia and her husband Nick came for dinner at Finchley Road. I remember Julia’s swollen feet.
