GA, I like the way that Roland features a utilitarian objects like a cart, barrow, barrels in the forefront before his views of beautiful churches and buildings. Especially in St George in the East, Wapping and Brushfield St, Spitalfields.

His story also brought back memories of my wanderings around London – Maida Vale and the Nash terraces near Regent’s Park. Lovely areas of the city.

I worked there for a time donkeys years ago and it must have been a very fine house in its day. I loved the secluded courtyard garden in summer, it was like a little oasis of calm in the madness of the City.

What a lovely photograph and what a memorable meeting you must have had.
