Trellick Tower, W10 Dexter takes a birthday card for Grandpa down to the post box

Trellick Tower, W10

For an ugly object, the Trellick Tower is remarkably photogenic. I think that has something to do with its situation - you get some great and various views of it from different vantage points around the west of London- and also the patchwork effect of its balconies – each one featuring different colours and objects and signs of the people who live in it.

Lovely sunshine. W10

London is actually full of trees and its only now, looking at all these photographs that I realise how much that has mattered to me over the years I’ve been living here.

Stomachs in Steyning Picking up Dave after an operation on his ear, St Mary's Hospital, Paddington

Stomachs in Steyning

One of the iconic pictures of this project this is probably in my personal top five pictures. From left to right are my brother John, me, my other brother Matthew and his then girlfriend (now wife) Kathy. The occasion was a family get together and the booze had definitely been flowing by the time this picture was taken. Matt and Kathy were living at my parents’ house then and John was living in Brighton, the stomachs were on show because we were looking ahead to Matthew’s surgery that was about to happen. Matthew had been diagnosed with polyps in his bowel and was due to have them removed and tested to see if they were cancerous. It turned out that they were and the next twelve months or so were a time of multiple hospital visits for him and at least two major operations to remove the cancerous cells. It was a tough time for all the family, but obviously for Matthew especially, though he bore it all with remarkable courage and lack of complaint.

Team lunch at Belgoes, W10 Dexter eats a carrot puff (it’s not a Wotsit I promise) in the Honest Sausage café, Regents Park

Team lunch at Belgoes, W10

Three of my colleagues from The Clive James Millennium Show here. Rachael, Helen and I think that’s Jane Mercer the late great Duchess of archive film research just beyond Helen. I’m sure we were having much more fun than this pictures seems to suggest.
