Laugh to get better

Seen on the side of a van in central London: " Turn that frown upside down" It made my day... I suggest that you Say it! Shout it! Make it global. Put it on your mail. Your contribution to a peaceful universe... Walter Vego

The Orange Street Church

The Church was founded in 1693 by Huguenot refugees, who fled from France at the time of the revocation of the edict of Nantes.

In 1776 the Chapel passed into the hands of the Church of England.

In 1787 the Chapel was then passed into the hands of the Congregationalists.

Adjoining the Chapel was Sir Issac Newton's House, which was condemned in 1913.

Friendly neighbours?!

I say friendly and I'm sure they would be if I actually met them face to face! I will explain. I live in a very nice flat in a nice street but at times I wish I was in the depths of the country. It is like "Big Brother". I feel that the entire day someone is looking at me. No, I'm not going bonkers! Why I feel this is because opposite me lives someone who obviously enjoys smoking and, at fairly short intervals through the day, they open the window and lean right out with their cigarette and have a good look around. The first time is when I am sitting at my dressing doing my face and hair right in my own bedroom window! And the last time in the day is when I'm sitting in a wing chair in the drawingroom with the light over me reading my book. You will say, if you can be bothered to read all this, " Why can't I move my dressingtable and chair"? But I can't, there's no other place to put them! You will say "Net curtains"? No Way!

If Millman Street closes.....

If Millman Street closes it will be very sad. People will lose a wonderful place where they can share their lives together and support each other.

Proposed Closure of Millman Street Centre

I'm deeply sad that our community centre for elderly is earmarked for closure in order to save a small amount from the budgeted expenditure.

It will rip out services for Camden elderly citizens as they depend on it as their life-line for meeting, dining, services, caring and sharing.

We must safeguard the lives of many who are at the autumn in their lives. What kind of society will we be living in where we cannot provide for the basic needs of our vulnerable and aged population!?

Closing of our centre

When the centre closes, if it does, the most effect it will have on me is that there will be no more computer lessons which I so look forward to.

I will buy myself a laptop and use it in my flat and how boring that will be!

Also imagine all the muddles I will get into !
