Another Trip to Peckham, Southwark, London - 28th October 2012

It's off to London on another trip to see Abby in Peckham and, on this occasion, Isobel's sisters who are visiting from Dublin. We stay in the same pub-with-rooms as before - the Victoria Inn - on Bell-end[-en] Road, just round the corner from Abby's pad. Whilst there, we visit McDermott Park, which was reconstructed for the TV program Charlie's Garden Army in 2000, and which features mosaic benches made with fragments of pottery found whilst re-building the park.
