Certainly nothing showing in the above pictures of having an easy or a comfortable life – which saddens me.

There’s very little to show in any of my pockets; a thin pair of gloves (‘cos my hands are always cold), and a couple of Kleenex tissues. However, the contents of my shoulder bag is another matter!

So sad to see the scant belongings of life’s ‘waifs & stray’ outliers – laid bare on the hard, cold pavement…

Hi Stefan, yes, always dapper. I worked for him when he moved to Northern Ireland – Susan was from there. Much missed. Simon

The 1867 death certificate of my 3x maternal grandfather gives his profession as “One of the leaders of the Fellowship Porters”. I am intrigued by this. Do you have any information on this job?

This series of paintings is great. I am particularly drawn to Nana Yaa, Yellow House, Venus Ascent, and the serenity and subtlety of St. Gabriel on the Flats. While I love modern art and the art of the old masters, I very much enjoyed this selection, which resonated with me. Felt like I was right there.

The Rag and Bone Man brought back a memory from childhood. We had a local one who drove a horse and cart. The comment that it it was “not easy to understand the words” is spot-on. His cry was reduced to “Raa-a-owns” if I can render it phonetically.

How I miss these people.

Many of the pictures are in the magic few minutes in winter when the sky light balances the shop and house window lights and their reflection on the wet streets and I like how the graffiti have crept in. Is a new book a possibility ?
