Comments on: My East End Vernacular Lecture https://spitalfieldslife.com/2021/12/03/my-east-end-vernacular-lecture-o/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sat, 04 Dec 2021 16:56:01 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: David Shaffer https://spitalfieldslife.com/2021/12/03/my-east-end-vernacular-lecture-o/#comment-1439800 Sat, 04 Dec 2021 16:56:01 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=189748#comment-1439800 First – Thank you for the post and esecially for the pictures.
I also want to endorse the Zoom meetings idea. I expect my sister who lives in America, would be interested. And I’m pretty sure I’m not the only person in Jerusalem, where I live, who has ties to or interest in the East End… You may also attract people from outside Facebook.
If you make good recordings of the lectures, perhaps you could post them.

Thank you to all writers, poets, painters, and photographers who capture history and life in this way.

I’ve paid for and attended lectures all over during the pandemic. It is a great privilege to do so. I do not know how difficult it is to set up such an event. I have read that some organizations believe will continue to offer such access even after the pandemic is resolved.

I’m pouting in Toronto. I know that might make me eligible for the ‘naughty list’ but there are fabulous lectures the GA’s fans-abroad cannot access.

Any chance a live Zoom opportunity can arise? No wrapping and bow needed. Thanks to the pandemic some of us are getting adept at staying awake for mid-night European events online. We already stay awake to see if you are coming, Santa.

And, as I do each year, I’ll ask that a published (illustrated) version of the GA’s childhood Christmas story will be delivered, to sit on the shelf with my copy of Dylan Thomas’s ‘A Child’s Christmas in Wales.’

Perhaps, Santa, you (and Zoom) can bring us a live reading this year?
No lump of coal, please. (Think of the environment!)
Milk and cookies are on the little table.
And carrots for your reindeer coursers, of course.

To all a good night/day, Linda.
