Reminder of the kindness of strangers and hope in our common humanity.
I miss Valentina & her kiosk. I miss her positivity & warm-heartedness. Valentina has been undergoing cancer treatment. To cheer her up I turned the Valentina’s Kiosk theme into a song & the legendary BBC Singers
have recorded it for her. Here is Valentina’s Song. Conducted by David Hill.

Tokenism, technology and trade. The 2nd electric vehicle exported from Messrs Immisch & Co., Kentish Town, London to Abdul Hamid II's court in the Ottoman Empire, in 1890. Copying the underpowered 'original' of Magnus Volk in Brighton of 1887. #EV

Nostalgia from native lands. Gentle teasing of #Darfield from a local autograph book a century ago. No pit and no trains now, but new literary light and poetic love is daily sprinkled in the morning strolls of @imcmillan.bsky.social
