Umbra Sumus – We are shadows. These are the words on the sundial here in Fournier Street.
Over the coming days, weeks, months and years, I am going to write every single day and tell you about my life here in Spitalfields at the heart of London. How can I ever describe the exuberant richness and multiplicity of culture in this place to you? This is both my task and my delight.

Great blog. One of my best walks is around spitalfield and shoreditch. Taking people into the undergrowth of London history is fascinating. Your blog proves the point.
Won’t you ever take a holiday or take a break Gentle Author? Or is this a holiday to you writing everyday and your ultimate pleasure as my reading is my ultimate pleasure too?
You bring a ray of London life each day. May the Gods make your journey a pleasant and fabulous one filled with all that you can muster. What treasures await you, I cannot wait
to be revealed. What is your name apart from “the Special One”, or is this a secret ?
