TAKEN AWAY: Our story

The life-size bronze was put up next to the Trafalgar Tavern 10 years ago to mark the 200th anniversary of the naval hero’s death. Pub owner Frank Dowling says he paid £300,000 for the statue to be erected after being asked to build it by organisations here – including his landlords Greenwich Hospital. But he is upset that the naval charity has apparently changed its

rents from them. The entrepreneur – whose Inc bars empire collapsed 18 months ago – told The Greenwich Visitor: “I’m not being spiteful but we had an agreement and people should stick to agreements. “If necessary I’ll give Nelson away. I’ll offer him to the Maritime Museum or give him to someone to put in their garden. I don’t want him to leave. I’m Turn to Page 8

Greenwich Morris Men Much like glorious Greenwich itself, the Greenwich Morris Men are a fine balance of old and new (with a distinct natural beauty!), are steeped in history, loved by locals, applauded by tourists and strangely synonymous with pubs.

Mentioned by Shakespeare but with its actual origins unknown, Morris dancing has evolved, changed and regionalised over the years. Arguably, the most recognisable image of Morris dancing is that of hankies, bells and sticks. Well, that’s Cotswold style Morris and that’s precisely what Greenwich Morris perform. As the name suggests, this tradition heralds from the Cotswolds, with each dance performed to traditional tunes, expertly performed by Greenwich Morris’s musicians on melodeons, concertinas, and accordions. The Royal Borough’s very own side of Morris Men was formed in 1976 and ever since been practising, playing and performing in and around Greenwich. For the Greenwich Morris Men, there is nothing better than keeping this fascinating dance tradition alive against the backdrop and beauty of historical Greenwich. To be able to entertain the locals – and many tourists that the local economy thrives upon – is enormous fun, incredibly sociable, a good way of keeping fit and a post-dance beer is truly satisfying! We are always open to new members, so if you would like to know more, please visit www.greenwichmorrismen.com, Facebook and Twitter over the summer to see where and when we will be performing and always feel free to come and have a chat with us after the performance. We look forward to seeing you!

GREENWICH (open air) market Roof comes off during big refurbishment

ORINGINAL: Market with roof on

HERE’S historic Greenwich Market as you’ve never seen it before...sections of i t s r o o f h a v e b e e n r e m o v e d fo r renovation as part of a big refurb. The original 1902 roof structure is being removed in two phases to be stripped and cleaned up off site. Simon Wheeler, of contarctors Fairhurst Ward Abbots saud: “The original roof structure was dismantled and sent to Kent to be

£1.9m re-fit for a Queen Historic House WILL close for year

THE huge refit for the Queen’s House in Greenwich revealed in February’s Greenwich Visitor is going ahead.

The historic 17th Century house – designed by Inigo Jones for Queen Anne – will close on July 27 and re-open on July 4 2016 in time for the 400th anniversary of its commission by Anne’s husband King James I in 1616. The project will cost £1.9million. A spokesperson said: “Funds are coming from a variety of sources including donations, capital grant allocations and existing operational budget allocations.” The Queen’s House is home to much of the Museum’s art collection. When it reopens visitors will be able to see new paintings inclusing Orazio Gentileschi’s Joseph and Potiphar’s Wife – displayed there for the first time since 1650. On loan from the Royal Collection, it was one of a sequence commissioned for the Queen’s House by King Charles I and Queen Henrietta Maria. The ceiling in the King’s Presence Chamber will be “restored to its royal splendour”, complementing the Queen’s Presence Chamber which was restored in 2013. Both rooms will “have a bold new colour on the walls; bright blue for the King’s and bright red for the Queen’s”. These rooms will house paintings of Kings,

cleaned. Eight coats of paint were removed. Newly painted steelwork to the roof is being re-installed. The new roof covering is next and, weather permitting, we’ll see sunlight streaming into the market soon.” Market owners Greenwich Hospital are making a time-lapse film of the huge operation, which they will post on their website. Property Manager Gillie Bexson

said: “We’ve worked hard to minimise the impact of the works. Work includes new power and drainage and re-laid cobbles so people less able to walk and those with prams can move around much more easily.” The Market is open Thursday to Sunday during the refurb. But shops there remain open seven days a week. Info: greenwichmarketlondon.com

Queens, consorts and courtiers associated with the House and Greenwich at the time, including Charles I and Henrietta Maria by Daniel Mytens. The spokesperson said the aim is to “chart the changing relationship between the Queen’s House, the people who created it and those who lived and worked there, from royalty and courtiers to the Navy.” The museum is said to hope that the refurbishment will encourage more people to visit – fewer than 10 per cent of those who visit the NMM next door walk through the original Georgian collonades to the Queen’s House.

THE unique history of Deptford as one of the world’s great shipbuilding centres has all but vanished beneath the blocks of exclusive riverside apartments springing up along the Thames either side of the creek where the Ravensbourne flows into it.

But a few metres away, a stone’s throw from the ancient landing-place called the Upper Watergate Stairs, that history is kept alive by an enterprise that combines a deep sense of heritage and a passionate drive to offer a new life to disadvantaged, at-risk and disabled young people, writes MILES HEDLEY. The AHOY centre, in Borthwick Street, is not easy to find. You have to weave through a labyrinth of postwar LCC council blocks and past the delightful oasis of St Nicholas’s churchyard to reach its cluster of offices, storerooms, gym, function room and workshops next to a slipway between two of the new upmarket residential developments. But it’s worth the effort, for here is a place that is not only trying to make a difference but is also awash with beautiful things – not least a wonderful collection of watermen’s cutters which the AHOY team build to a design dating back at least 200 years. AHOY – which stands for Adventure Help & Opportunities for Youth – is a registered charity and is the brainchild of Clive Ongley, who conceived it during a meeting at the now-demolished old customs house in Deptford in his days running a building business. He recalls: “It was a really boring meeting and someone said, ‘Look at that!’ We couldn’t see anything so he said, ‘Exactly – there’s nothing happening on the Thames.’ A bunch of us decided to try to do something about that.” Greenwich Council had already handed over a small riverside plot with a slipway to a group to develop it for boating. Clive got involved and threw himself into fund-raising to transform it into a centre with needy

I was made to stay on but for me the last few years at school were a bit of a waste of time. “However, I was lucky because my dad loved boats and we often went boating – and I learnt more doing that than I did at school. So one of the main aims at AHOY is to give young people a sort of alternative education.” AHOY run internationally recognised courses in sailing, rowing and powerboating

We really need some government funding but at the moment we have to lobby organisations, firms

They can come here, learn the skills and then set off to sail round the world if they want. AHOY can completely transform lives.” And carpenter Tim Foyle, who builds boats at the centre and helps repair and maintain cutters used by London’s ancient livery companies, said: “Deptford has a massive boatbuilding history and it’s a thrill to be part of it.” When I was shown round the centre by operations administrator Maeve Keeley the yard was filled with dinghies, ribs and rowing boats.

GREENWICH’S unique Fan Museum hosts a brand new exhibition this month – Fans of the Belle Epoque opens on May 12, celebrating “the extravagance and theatricality” of the age from 1890 and 1910. Curator Jacob Moss promises “a spellbinding assortment of exquisitely-crafted fans favoured by wealthy American heiresses and the cream of European society at this time.” Examples from the Museum’s world-beating collection will include examples by Duvelleroy & Kees, designs by painters such as Abbema, Lasellaz and Billotey – and even a fan decorated with Faberge enamelling and gold work. Linked to the show is another In Celebration event – Dress historian Professor Amy de la Haye discusses Worth & Lucile: Histories from the Archives on Monday June 22 (7pm).

But young people here with a passion for dance have just that opportunity thanks to CAT, writes Eva Garnes. CAT is the national Centre of Advanced Training scheme. There are 10 institutions across the country – including just two in London. One is right on our doorstep. For the past eight years Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance has been helping young people aged 13 to 18 reach their goal of becoming a professional dancer. PROUD: Olive Enokido-Lineham, “You don’t need a lot of experience to Dylan Canton, Monique Williams audition for the program with us,” says and Alex Henderson Lead Dance Teacher Will Aitchinson. “What we look for is potential that the dancers show” Youngsters who’ve only ever danced around the living room are as welcome as experienced dancers. If accepted they learn a range of disciplines and style and a set of skills crucial to their futures.

YOUNG people excluded from school have been using their energy and creativity to dance. A ground-breaking threeweek collaboration by Greenwich Dance and dance theatre company Protein allowed students from Newhaven Pupil Referral Unit in Greenwich to work on a performance over three weeks, writes EVA GARNES. The theme of the performance – XOXO – is the effect of social media. Protein Artistic Director Luca Silvestrini says: “Students are full-time with us in the studio, and are treated like professional dancers. “We want to create a dance performance which will help pupils find themselves through dance, discover their expression and use this to get to a better place.” It’s Protein’s seventh dance project with a PRU but their first collaboration on one with Greenwich Dance. I met dance artists Parsifal James Hurst, Valentina Golfieri and Chris Knight from Protein at the rehearsals in the Borough Hall. “This is a very special project for everyone involved,” says Valentina. “For the students it’s brand new to them, and in the beginning they find it very strange to be in a setting like this. For us as dance artists it is quite different too, because we are working with the students as a dance company. We are not just their teachers, we become their equals.” Parsifal agrees: “We all have to perform together at the end of the three weeks, and we will be up on that stage next to the students. So we all work together towards that goal.” The aim is for students to obtain respect, responsibility, pride, self-discipline and the bravery to perform in front of an audience at the end of the three-week scheme. Luca says success depends on one vital link between all the different elements: “Co-operation between us, the schools and the parents is fundamental. “Through this as a dance company we can create change, while promoting and instigating something positive in these young people’s lives.”

Turn to Page 8 desperate for him to stay. But you have to stick to agreements.” He says the deal was made when he sold them his freehold of the Admiral Hardy pub a decade ago so they could go ahead with a redevelopment scheme at Greenwich Market, which it owns. Greenwich Hospital could not respond before we went to press. The bronze – by south east London artist Lesley Pover – was damaged in a suspected scrap metal raid in November 2012 and was missing for 18 months afterwards. Mystery grew because Greenwich Council said Inc had told them the statue had disappeared – while Inc said the council was demanding it re-apply for planning permission to erect the statue. The repaired statue finally returned in March 2014. Nelson has many links with Maritime Greenwich. After his death at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 his body lay in state for three days at the Painted Hall of the Old Royal Naval College. Frank Dowling built up his empire after buying the Bar Du Musee. At its height, Inc was said to have a turnover of more than £20million a year with 24 venues and 400 employees. But the American tycoon’s business went into administration in 2013 with £6.5million said to owed to in VAT and PAYE. He says he has now reached an agreement through administrators Griffins, which sold off many of the company’s bars and restaurants, and that the matter is now over. His flagship Trafalgar Tavern was part of a separate company and he still owns and runs the historic pub – the biggest bar in Europe when it was built in 1837, and where Charles Dickens, regularly dined. Mr Dowling also says he is dismayed at being ordered to remove tables on the Thames Path near the pub. Should Nelson stay? Tell us what you think. Email Matt@ TheGreenwichVisitor.com

Record long BBC host’s Park ramble with Parents group time coming THE Royal Observatory has entered the Guinness Book of Records for the “most accurate mechanical clock with a pendulum swinging in free air.” The award is for the Burgess B Clock – completed in 2014 to plans made by John Harrison 230 years earlier. Martin Burgess’s Harrison Research Group began making clocks to Harrison’s designs in 1975 – two centuries after Harrison’s claims that his own clocks could keep time to within a second over 100 days were dismissed. After three decades of work, the clock was finally completed at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich in March 2014. The official 100-day trial started on 6 January and ended on 16 April 2015. Wax seals made it tamper-proof. Rory McEvoy, Curator of Horology at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, said: “The results of this experiment are truly remarkable.”

The BBC host was recording the first episode of her new Radio 4 series Ramblings, which airs this month. She joined members of Greenwich Parent Voice on one of their monthly walks

round the Park, where they told her how they find “respite, companionship, gentle exercise and moments of calm in a place of great natural beauty.” The group is for parents of children with special needs and disabilities, and aims to make their voice heard in Government. As they walked to One Tree Hill, Clare asked what life is like caring for a disabled child. And she told

them it felt poignant to be back where she celebrated the end of Olympics with Gamesmakers, looking across London from General Wolfe’s statue. The group’s Joanne Delap said: “We had great fun with Clare. This walk is one of many ways we bring parents together. We plan more GPV rambles in future – everyone is welcome.” Info: greenwichparentvoice.com

THE STORY OF theologian william paley Tucked away in the vestry of St Alfege Church is a stained-glass window that survived a World War Two bombing and depicts two former clerics. Last month David Larkin told the story of longserving Vicar of Greenwich Thomas Plume. This month: William Paley, shown with quill pen and theological work

LIFE IN

YOU’VE probably never heard of William Paley. But in his time the Doctor of Divinity, moralist and theologian was a national institution.

Born in Peterborough in 1743, he grew up in the family home at Giggleswick, Yo r k s h i r e , w h e r e h i s f a t h e r w a s headmaster at the local school for 54 years. Intelligent, talkative, insatiably curious the 16-year-old arrived at Plume’s alma mater, Christ’s College Cambridge in the autumn of 1759. Even then his father had no doubt of William’s potential. “He’ll turn out a great man, very great indeed...he has by the clearest head I have ever met within my life.” Paley took to college life. His uncouth manners, north country dialect and shabby clothes in no way disguised a lively, attractive personality. “I spent the first two years of my undergraduateship happily but unprofitably,” he later recalled. “We were not immoral but idle and rather expensive.” Just in time, he realised the error of his ways. When he took his degree in 1763, he gained first class honours. Too young to be ordained, he took a fill-in job as an assistant teacher at Weston’s Academy here in Greenwich – about where King William Walk is now – a school educating young boys for military or naval careers. (Founder Thomas Weston had been the “ingenious disciple” of the first Astronomer Royal John Flamsteed, and was even portrayed by James St Alfege, Greenwich Town Centre Thornhill on the ceiling and Attributes of the of the Painted Hall.) Deity. For Paley – a Paley described c h i l d o f t h e school-mastering as day ry eve Enlightenment – reason n Ope “woful drudgery.” But he was key. Divine revelation, till 4pm made the most of London – once fundamental, was now enjoying the theatre but secondary to scrutiny and concentrating on academic work argument. Paley’s clarity of thought, too. In 1765 his essay in Latin on the strong grasp of material and eloquent comparative merits of Epicurean or Stoic prose made him a household name. philosophies won a coveted prize. In Natural Theology, he created one of In 1766, Paley was ordained. The the great metaphors of the English ceremony took place on February 23 and language.

having its second successful sea-trial.) In the end, another Christ’s College man undermined Paley’s standing. Young Charles Darwin arrived in Cambridge in 1828, even it is believed, lodging in the same rooms. To become a country parson, Darwin needed a theology degree. He read Natural Theology and later wrote: “I hardly admired a book more: I could have said it by heart.” But his five-year journey on HMS Beagle altered Darwin’s understanding. In On the Origin of Species (1859) he advanced a revolutionary theory. Nature required no purposeful designer – just time, small inheritable variations and relentless competition in a cruel world. Paley died in 1805 and is buried in Carlisle Cathedral. His ideas may have been superseded but his eloquent interpretation of the knowledge of his day demands respect.

ltham Palace is a fantastic part of our heritage and has a special place in the memories of many people here. Crossing the medieval bridge over the moat and exploring the Great Hall of King John’s Palace (as we called it) features in many childhood stories. It was the childhood home of Henry VIII and full of history. For years it was in disrepair, then the Great Hall opened to the public and you could wander around the historic 15th Century hall and grounds. In the 1930’s the Stephen and Virginia Courtauld – part of the millionaire textile dynasty– built a home attached to it. When they left, in 1944, it was taken over by the Army, and the doors were firmly closed. It was not until 1995, when English Heritage took over the whole site, that we finally got to see the Courtaulds’ wonderful Art Deco home. ow the experience is even better. Since Easter five renovated rooms have been re-opened, including a WW2 bunker, bedrooms, Virginia’s dressing room and a map room where the family planned overseas trips. The rock garden – beside of the moat used for swimming by the family – has been rebuilt using pictures taken at the time as a guiude. We can now see how the family lived with an interactive visitor guide and even dress up. Find out more at www.english-heritage.org.uk oming to Eltham Palace is a must for locals and visitors alike. It’s not far to go to Eltham High Street or visit some of our other parks nearby. A lovely little park, the Tarn, is close by: ww.thetarn.org ith the Eltham Postcard competition concluded, we are now looking forward to Summer and Autumn events.

I’m not usually a fan of this sort of thing but the freshness at Coriander makes this perfect if you can’t make your mind up. nother regular haunt is the excellent Mountain View. Chicken Madras is always spot on, my Madras correspondent reports (you really must try other dishes, mate!) but I recommend King Prawn Pathia, a sweet and sour dish ideal with big, juicy shellfish.

You don’t WOODPECKERS drum in the trees and the cherry blossom is out...Spring is here so it’s time to gather the family and head in to the great outdoors to eat. And a park is the perfect place.

Greenwich Park is undoubtedly our best-known green space here, and the cafe at it’s heart has undergone many changes recently. Built in 1906, the Pavilion Tea House is an octagonal building recently restored and is the only one of three similare structures which once adorned London’s Royal Parks. It’s topped by a dovecot with a weather vane on top, showing Nelson looking through his telescope. In fine weather visitors make the most of the large gardens at the front and rear, the iconic views of London provide the backdrop. In the winter, the Cafe is cosy and welcoming. Managed by Creative Taste, most of the food is prepared on site, sourced locally, as much as possible. John, who started work as chef in the Pavilion’s kitchen 21 years ago, told me that the menu changes monthly and that the clientele is closely surveyed. “Basically, we ask people what they like and dislike,” he tells me. “For example, we have been asked for Chicken and Mushroom Leek Pie which is the new favourite, though the Fish and Chips with Mushy Peas is close behind.” There is also a special menu for kids, gluten-free orange cake, barista coffee and the pavilion is licensed. I had been warned that the pizzas are so popular they fly off the counter as soon as service starts. I should have listened...by early afternoon there was not a pizza to be had. But the grilled vegetable ciabatta was really tasty and the chips to die for. In my opinion, an establishment can be judged by the quality of its chips. Rarely have I have such good fries. Opening hours at The Pavilion – close to the Royal Observatory – vary but are mostly

ITALIAN FAMILY VALUES WHAT do you expect from an Italian restaurant? The myth is, I suppose, the small family-run local restaurant serving homemade food. It can be like that in Italy but here it’s mostly chains – impersonal with no sense of fun and average food. But things change... Eltham now has the restaurant it always needed. Azzuro’s is a family-run Italian restaurant with a London twist. The menu focuses on pizza and pasta but also includes steak, chicken and grilled fish and vegetarian options. When you realise the pizzas are homemade and the ingredients first class then you begin to see how special Azzuro’s is. Italian food is essentially simple and depends on high quality ingredients and the chef’s understanding of how they work together. This is what Azzuros delivers. Dishes are well presented and

there is something for everyone. But for me the highlights are any of the pizzas – the calzone is huge and fluffy – the minestrone soup, with just a hint of chilli, the chocolate Tiramisu or the delicate pannacotta. In fact you can’t go wrong, it’s just a matter of what you fancy on the night. Service is relaxed, friendly and efficient but can be a little slow when the restaurant is full. The wine list is small, well chosen and reasonably priced. Azzuro’s is hard for a food critic as it difficult to find anything to criticize. So I will leave it to the customer sitting next to me who just murmured as he ate “This is so good”. It turned out he was a retired Italian restaurateur. One word of advice: At weekends book: If you don’t...well you’ll probably find me at the table you wanted. John Wingham

have to picnic to dine in a Park

OUR GREAT OUTDOORS from 9am till 4pm. Easiest access is from Blackheath gate. There are plenty of other places to eat in green spaces... In Eltham, after a tour of the newly-restored Eltham Palace, I headed for the Eltham Park South Cafe in Glenesk Road. The place was buzzing, despite a lack of outdoor space. A basic Pompeii Red long, low hut, with wooden seats and tables on the grass. A small window opening lets out the most enticing smell from the grill. I am told that the popularity of

this place rest on its good selection of food, home-made cakes and the fact that children are free to run around to their heart’s content. It’s hard to talk about cafes in our Parks without mentioning Pistachio’s. In East Greenwich Pleasaunce, on Chevening Road, it’s a haven of peace and quiet in enclosed gardens and an orchard. It’s also the final resting place for the heroic former residents of Greenwich Hospital who fought at the Battle of Trafalgar. This small but nicely equipped venue is pretty

much perfect. Staff are warm, friendly and the whole place has a strong community spirit. As for the food, salads are gigantic – just as they should be. There are milkshakes in the summer, and hot chocolate in the winter. There’s also Wi-fi if you need a working lunch. It won’t be long before your loyalty card is full up and a cappuccino with froth topped with a chocolate heart is presented to you with a smile. SOLANGE BERCHEMIN

We feel for those who wore their shoes out trying to locate it and for the organisers who tried so hard to make it work. Hefty parking charges and traders with cold feet didn’t help. ood poverty is a real issue in the borough. The latest Greenwich Foodbank donation point is now established at the Waitrose Store at New Capital Quay. Do your bit! here is mileage in negative restaurant reviews. When Jay Rayner’s published Dining Hell it went viral. But I prefer to deal in positives – it’s a thrill to share food delights. But, like everyone else, when I go out I’m genuinely disappointed when if goes wrong. Last month, I booked a table for two, for a birthday, in renowned Greenwich restaurant The Hill on Royal Hill – a popular buzzing place with a Mediterranean theme and good pizzas. It was perfectly OK until my fish with sauce a l’oseille... The sauce was so salted that it was virtually inedible. But nothing was going to spoil the occasion, my companion was not commenting on his lasagne so I kept schtum. Almost...I washed down what I could with plenty of water and when the waitress came to clear our plates, discreetly asked if she could point the problem out to the Chef. I got a very Mediterranean shrug of shoulders and a distant “Well, you know...” Did the message get back? Who knows. If something goes wrong, a good restaurant will put it righ. Not doing so, denotes a couldn’t-care-less attitude and that is worse than a lousy experience itself. egetable boxes: It’s often a case (or in this case a box) of love it or hate it. If it’s the latter, and you are looking for a vegetable box scheme, GCDA and Keats Organic have teamed up to bring fresh, locallygrown produce to a pick-up point near you. Contact boxorders@gcda.org.uk ltham Palace’s new rooms are stunning. But don’t let that overshadow the food. The Palace’s new chef is recreating favourite 1930’s dishes. I heartily recommend potted mackerel with bread £5.95.

ParkLife BEAT THAT!

reviews: DOJOJI

GLOBAL :Should spaceman replace General Wolfe?

By Greenwich Park manager Graham Dear

CONTRAST is a key element in many works of art. But few contrasts can be greater than those on view in Dojoji at Laban Theatre when the thunderous drums of Taiko Meantime joined forces with the delicate beauty of acclaimed dancer Chieko Kojima and the intricacies of Japanese folk music. Taiko drums range from large to colossal and produce an overwhelming sound. Yet in the hands of the group’s seven percussionists, led by Mark Alcock, they are also full of nuance and subtlety.Those two words also summed up the performance of Kojima, who flitted between the drums like a firefly, illuminating the dark and tragic love story that was at the heart of Dojoji. It wasn’t all

doom-laden, though. Alcock and his troupe had the audience in stitches in a brilliant and funny interlude featuring only three pairs of tiny cymbals – who knew six pieces of metal could be so expressive? And there were hauntingly lovely musical episodes provided by flautist Clive Bell playing a range of Japanese woodwind and by Hibiki Ichikawa on the threestring lute-like tsugaru shamisen. But it was the storming sounds o f Ta i k o M e a n t i m e t h a t dominated the evening. And after Kojima added her own breathtaking drumming skills to the mix in a dazzling finale, the audience rose in a standing ovation to one of the great demonstrations of the power of contrast. miles hedley

THRILL ME

TWICE THE THRILL ONE of the best things about being a reviewer is having the rare chance to see a great performance transform a workaday piece into something truly special. Thrill Me at Greenwich Theatre went one better – with two brilliant turns. A notorious child-murder is an odd choice of subject for a musical and I confess I have never understood the worldwide success Thrill Me has enjoyed over the years. The topic is unrelentingly grim, the Nietzsche-obsessed protagonists are wholly hateful and the tunes leave me cold. But Jo Parsons and Ben Wo o d s , w h o p l a y e d t h e psychotic lovers in director Guy R e t a l l a c k ’s f i n e l y s t a g e d production at Greenwich, were simply sensational. The pair are

possessed not only of fine voices but are also consummate actors and were wholly convincing as arrogant, self-obsessed young men whose pursuit of thrills ended with them convinced they had committed the perfect murder. Of course they hadn’t and they were brought to justice. Ye t P a r s o n s a n d Wo o d s miraculously succeeded in making two of the least attractive leading characters in any theatrical work – and I include Sweeney Todd in that number – not only human but also vulnerable, sympathetic and even comprehensible. It was a startling achievement. And they thoroughly deserved the ovation they were given by an audience whose sparseness they absolutely did not deserve. MILES HEDLEY

chewing the fat

A lot of FAT good YOU’RE unlikely ever to see a more honest show than Selina Thompson’s Chewing The Fat, t h e w r i t e r / p e r f o r m e r ’s meditation on what it is to be large. With a complete lack of vanity, she demonstrated the truth about binge-eating and left almost nothing to the imagination in her one-woman show at Albany. In one sequence, she lay on the floor in front of an open fridge and shovelled food into her mouth until she gagged. In another, she broke open a pinata hanging over her head and its creamy contents gushed out all over her – and the stage- in an explosion of joyless excess. But

Thompson is no simple shock jock. She brilliantly counterpointed the heartbreak a n d h o r r o r w i t h h u m o u r, gleefully reflecting on the sexual preferences of old boyfriends and saying of her own rather upmarket culinary preferences: “I’m an overeater with expensive tastes.” At just 24, she showed tremendous self-knowledge and self-assuredness, refusing to play the victim or hide behind psychobabble labels. It was a bold, bittersweet and ultimately inspiring performance and the audience – evenly split between the lithe and the large – were left spellbound. MILES HEDLEY

My Dad loved horses and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly: his favourite race was the Grand National.

delaide in Australia is my home city but I moved to London 10 years ago and have lived all around south east London; Charlton, Woolwich, Hither Green and now Lewisham. I think people look down on this area if they have never been. I had a friend from Maida Vale who always said how far away it was but then he visited and realised it wasn’t at all. It’s 12 minutes to London Bridge and we can also hop on my boyfriend’s motorbike and get down to Kent easily. I love the green open spaces on our doorstep. Not just Greenwich Park and the heath but all the smaller parks in Lewisham too. Now the weather is warmer it’s wonderful. ntil two years ago I was an archaeologist but one of the perils of the job is that digs can do your knees or back in. I had to retire at the grand old age of 32. Vintage fashion has always been a passion and my wardrobe is stuffed to capacity with dresses from the 1920s-1950s. I have always loved millinery and going back through the generations some of my family were milliners. I retrained at the London College of Fashion and launched Miss Ava’s Millinery (www. missavassmillinery.com) last summer. I hand-make bespoke hats but also have a ready to wear collection of one-off pieces. I lean towards vintage inspirations, but often with a quirky twist so you’ll find pill box hats not just with feathers and veiling but also with spiders, skulls and playing cards. It is called Miss Ava’s as I also perform as a cabaret artist and Ava is my stage name. s well as trading online I now also sell at Greenwich Market every other Saturday which is great – you get a lovely mix of tourists and locals. I used to wander around there at weekends and I love the food stalls. The Japanese food is excellent. Everything is freshly cooked and I can feel my appetite rising as the day goes on. I can’t resist snacking all the time I am there. ore and more I eat out. Very close to home we have Rox Burger on Lee High Road where my boyfriend and I go on date nights. They do the some of the best burgers I have ever had. I also like the Station Hotel in Hither Green, which they revamped a few years ago. It‚‘s perfect for Sunday lunch. We had a great night there on New Year’s Eve too and it was lovely to be able to just walk home after. n a Sunday I love the Farmers’ Market at Blackheath. Even when I lived in Woolwich I would cycle to Blackheath to stock up on fresh food and then go to Boulangerie Jade for tea and cake. In the evening we sometimes go to Aqua as a treat as they do very good steaks. eally, I shouldn’t buy any more clothes but 360 Degrees Vintage in Greenwich has a mannequin that’s just my size so I know if it’s on there it will fit me, which makes it hard to resist. I have a beautiful red 1930s gown from there, which I wore to a stage awards night (my boyfriend is an actor) - topped off with one of my hats, of course!

The Blog of Samuel Pepys T uesday – Did go for a trim, as my hair grows long under my periwig. The barber, on seeing me, muttered “Got a right badger here”, a strange saying explained perhaps by the nearness of Greenwich to the countryside. Was shown into a large chair which most surprisingly did move upwards. I did think this maybe some new device of Mr I Newton, though he causes things to fall to the ground rather than rise up. “Not at work today then?” asked the fellow, clearly confusing the life of a gentleman with that of his own. He then did plunge my head into a bowl of water and began to rub some foamy substance into my wig. I leapt up in horror and brandished my cane. “I’ll have you know, sir,” I cried, “that I did not buy this periwig for 15 shillings from the finest maker in the Strand for you to attack it!” am proud of my wig. It is visible for miles. Its curls hath more bounce than the bed of Miss Gwynne. It makes an excellent counterpane. Even though it sometimes catches fire when I walk past candles, it is my proudest possession, the second being my cellar and the third being Mrs Pepys. And now I saw in the mirror that it looked like a litter of the King’s spaniels after they had been

drowned. I cried “You must be in the pay of the French!” and began to beat the fellow, demanding reparation for the recurling of the wig. “What about the cost of getting your hairs out of my sink?” he replied. Two rascals did throw me into the street, crumpling my cravat. The water in my wig making me topple over, I had to wring it out in the gutter, to much laughter. I did see the sign above their shop: Gentlemen’s Hairdressers. ‘Tis a lie: there are no gentlemen there. y wig being put out to dry, did have to spend all day at home. A most miserable time. Mrs Pepys likes to peruse the machine she does call the TV, an exceeding poor way of watching a play, there being no galleries full of ladies or sherry-sack sellers in one’s own room. Mrs Pepys, however, does think much of “That nice Dan Snow”.When I bemoaned being unable to escape to the tavern with my head naked she said that people might not laugh at me thus. “Dan Snow”, she said, “does not wear a periwig.” I cried “Neither does he wear stockings or buckles, which is why he does not go to the Chocolate-House!” Unlike Mrs Pepys, the world of fashion knows that a man is laughed at, not because he wears a wig, but because it is not long enough. Or wet.
