Not really a comment on this story, but I think we should try to make it easier and more normalised to downsize in your 60s.
If left too late, moving house can be incredibly disorientating - and you don’t tend to know it’s too late until it is

So, my home town is having a meltdown on social media because a 50 year old brick and concrete bus shelter is being taken down to make way for a modern replacement.
Facebook posts commenced. Several a day on the Community pages.
An online petition was started.
And now... This.

In The Spotlight - Baker Street
The dramatic lighting & architecture at Baker St station naturally encourages commuters to wait in the spotlight. I always think it looks like people are ready to perform on stage.
So I asked dancer Viola to pose under the lights, ready to dance.

I went to that Gary Barlow book signing in Leeds in 2007 or so. I got up to the front and asked him how he was, he said "I'm tired, in Leeds today, but Bristol yesterday, or was it Cork?" I said "NEVER. Forget where you're coming from." #totp

I laboured under the misapprehension that Billy Ocean was a US act for decades. Only found out he lived in Romford sometime last year #totp
