About Where I Live

England as you know has a lot of history. For example, the church which you see on Beckenham main street is very old:
"The most notable of these is the 14th century St Georges Church with its 13th century Lychgate - the oldest in England. "

Or as the same website notes, not only is this town old (I've seen a banner for an annual farmers market that dates back to 1200 and something), but some famous folk are in the area. David Bowie lived in Beckenham, Charles Darwin's house is not too far of a drive a way, but most importantly the man who invented the toilet bowl is buried locally. Can you guess his name?

Thomas Crapper (inventor of the flush toilet)

Here is the link for the creepy Hotel and Manor left over, he used to own eden park train station, his private entrance still exists:

Yeah so there is some history round these parts. Its the suburbs. And I am Yuppie scum...
I hear the calling of silence and peace, the turbulence is winding down for me, let the renaissance begin.

Before:

I'm Back

Two months later:
I once wrote here all things Easy. I think not. My back hurts, from the two month struggle, which I could not detail on the blog; I have some pictures. What work, what trauma, what never ending projects. Its been hell, moving car load by car load. The dust, the dirt, the cracks, holes, leaks, wall paper, paint, trips to home base. I am broke, but who knew I had the money to buy all the shit I had to buy. But here I am back in my study, its wonderful, the room I have dreamed of. Most of the pictures are up, few more to go. I look out over my garden, a soccer pitch, and then the hills of crystal palace with the radio tower; It's great. I thought I would lose it, in fact I think I did with all that has gone on.
Archie was lost drunk, cause I was out of practice. I am drinking my glenlivet 12 year old, a gift for my wedding anniversary from my wife Tina who has had to deal with me being a psycho, but at least I get the work done and I do it for free. Yes the blinds, curtains, and shades are up. I know how to use a drill and paint and cork etc.

Glenlivet and Dolly Parton is on the Mp3 player.
This is the very definition of relaxing.
