‘No medium has yet been devised for the translation of life into language, nor can any words recall the dazzling fluidity of days. Single yet fixed in sequence, they fall like the shaft of a cataract into time and through it’. – Freya Stark – Beyond Euphrates

But you have made one of the best attempts yet to bring us life as it is and has been lived in this fascinating part of London. Floreat Spitalfields Life.

I suspect many of your readers become quite attached to the people you introduce us to (I would be one of those readers). So it is always very sad when we learn of the death of a Spitalfields friend or colleague, especially untimely ones like the talented Colin O’Brien. Ditto for the many hardships the Viscountess has suffered – that’s so upsetting. But I have no doubt the attachment we feel is due to your ability to bring their stories to life so vividly. It certainly is a testament to the superb quality of your writing. I only wish I didn’t live a continent away – it would be wonderful to attend some of your events!

Congratulations on your 7 year anniversary. I have enjoyed reading your posts – the people, the area, the current events, and the history that you have chronicled. And I’m sorry for the loss of your friend.
