The coolest thing I ever found was knowledge and love of our capital city, London. My parents who lived 50 miles away always made sure I visited several times a year. Times were different but I was encouraged to confidently travel there alone and navigate public transport from about the age of 15.

What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)?

November was always a favourite time to visit and as I write I am sitting in a hotel room in my former home town of Crystal Palace overlooking the city where I lived and worked for 12 years.

The dogs have already done one of their favourite walks in Dulwich Village where we lived when we first moved to London.

Next one up is a circuit of Crystal Palace Triangle. Another home town we loved living in.

Tomorrow Borough Market for breakfast. But to finish an arty farty image from our London flat. It feels a little odd not to be there, but the new owners might not need two women and two dogs being all nostalgic in their home.
