well here we are april the first and horsemouth is about to head up out into the woods.
having raided the sally army horsemouth is up a copy of charles lancaster's seeing england: antiquaries, travellers, naturalists (50p).
yesterday a visit to barking riverside (aka. doomed megalopolis). the elevated overground making a huge swerve out of barking down into it. is it high enough above the (tidal) river to avoid flooding? time will tell.
having walked around the foreshore and back along the least promising road (passing infrastructure way but missing bastable avenue) at one point horsemouth was sat in a coffee shop. at another he was playing tubular bells in oyster catcher park. buses from barking arrived and departed.
horsemouth likes the edgelands where development is incomplete. where ideas are roughly sketched larger than life just to occupy spaces until something else comes along.
then to dave and claudia's for a catch up. whence back via the various hostelries on wood street.
today (as he mentioned) a wander round the woods. in the evening a meet up with minty.
