i was adamant ...
... but after much tearful argument with older and wiser heads in the drivers' rest room, i have reluctantly conceded that these ladies are neither
a) royalty
nor
b) star players in england's olympic hockey team

elliott school in putney
... is a bit of fifties architecture that needs to be knocked down because the fabric is so grievously dilapidated, but it is to be conserved as an example of design from that period
they are going to sell half their land for 34 million ( they hope ), and then spend most of it on the restoration
its a nice idea BUT ...
whilst the work proceeds they will need temporary classrooms and so they will stack them up right outside our kitchen window
and we shall lose our distant prospect towards the low slopes of the chiltern incline, beyond the edges of london
they say the buildings will be temporary ... three years only ... because the space they occupy must be made available for a play area
hmmm ! wasn't hadrian's wall temporary ?
