Spitalfields Life
I discovered this blog recently, though it has been published daily for several years. Written by The Gentle Author, it is an eclectic cornucopia of delights. Todays’ post offers a tour of Dr Johnson’s house, while among the other contributions in June alone, there have been Tim Marten Guitar Repairs, In The Lavender Fields Of Surrey, Adverts From The Jewish East End, The Return Of Vicky Moses, Bewicks’ Birds Of Spitalfields – there is something to intrigue and inform all comers.
Be warned, though – once you have stepped into The Gentle Author’s world, it is difficult to tear yourself away.
‘There are more than 5,000 stories by The Gentle Author with 40,000 pictures to be found online in the Spitalfields Life categories and archives.’
