This is the place where groups and people tell us what they do, why, and how you can help. This month: Cancer Research UK Shine Night Walk

Shine Night Walk

SEVENTEEN-thousand men and women will light up the streets of London soon in the fifth Shine Night Walk to raise £5million to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. They will walk a marathon or half-marathon through the capital – participants illuminate themselves with lights, symbolising the hope Cancer Research UK’s scientists bring to the dark days of cancer and celebrating the progress that has been made in life-changing research, The walk – on September 26 – starts at Southwark Park (It’s just a few stops from North Greenwich on the Jubilee Line so you can rest your legs before the big walk). The route takes in some of the great sights of London – including Big Ben, and The Shard, before ending at Old Billingsgate. Sarah Squire, Head of Shine Night Walk, said “It’s a physical challenge but by teaming up with friends and family and enjoying the incredible atmosphere, participants will be part of a magical night. “Everyone who takes part in Shine Night Walk and raises money will make a huge difference to the lives of those affected by this terrible disease and help us reach the day when all cancers are finally cured.” For more information – or to enter Shine Night Walk – go to shinewalk.org

Ex Ed’s retro shop DIRECTOR: Veemsen shooting in Nepal

MOVIE MISSION Filmmaker’s bid to help earthquake kids of Nepal

AN EX-GURKHA soldier turned filmmaker is hoping his new short film shot in Nepal will raise £30,000 for street children affected by the earthquake there. Veemsen Lama – studying for a BA (Hons) Digital Film Production at Ravensbourne here in Greenwich – finished shooting Maya two weeks before the quake struck, killing nearly 9,000 people. He said: “We captured those places on film and met so many people who are now suffering. All my team are emotionally connected to this. It’s just haunting.” The film – based on the real-life plight of the children – was written by Ravensbourne student Tayo Odesanya, translated into Nepalese by Deepesh Poudel and made to a tight budget funded by the crew, friends and family. Veemsen says: “I was in Thamel, which is a tourist area, in 2009 and I took a picture of four boys sleeping with dogs in the street. I thought ‘I have to make SOLDIER: that film’. I want to let the Veemsen as Gurkha world know that there are still street kids surviving, they don’t have the money but they still have their hopes and dreams.” With producer Tom Collingham, Veemsen says he will travel to the country to make sure any profits from the movie are handed to local agencies supporting street kids. The former soldier said. “I’ve seen many things – I’ve been to war but I’ve never seen anything like this before. I’m just heartbroken.” See a clip at www.veemsenlama.com Donate at www.indiegogo.com

WELCOME: Emma in her new shop

FROM Smash Hits to retro glitz...journalist Emma Jones has set up her own vintage shop in Greenwich.

Her quirky store Kramer & Kramer stocks an eclectic range of goods – from Hollywood tables to 1950’s Dutch Heaters, industrial French desks to vintage Italian dresses, writes JAKE BACON. The most unusual piece would have to be a pair of Parisian footwear designer Elisabeth de Senneville’s carp shoes. Emma, 39, bought the building next to her house, in Hyde Vale, off Royal Hill, in October 2014 and opened the shop in March. She says: “Working here is in many ways the same thing as journalism – meeting and talking to people. Each object in the shop tells a story and that’s what attracts me to the items I sell.” Welsh-born Emma was a columnist for The Sun and edited pop magazine Smash Hits. So why start a business so removed from her past? “I wanted to give people the opportunity to buy something unique for their home,” she tells me. “Plus, to put vintage things together and SOLE TRADER: open up this lovely Carp shoes building.” And why the unusual shop name? It’s a play on 1979 movie Kramer vs. Kramer – one of her favourite films – starring Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman as divorcing parents. Emma said: “The aesthetic for the shop is a sort of reimagining of the time, encompassing the style of Meryl Streep as Mrs Kramer. “I thought it would be funny to put the couple back together by calling it Kramer & Kramer – the shop has the sort of items they might have in their apartment.” Info: www.kramerandkramer.co.uk

But prospect of big ships worries campaign group

FLOATING

AN ocean liner seems to dwarf the palaces of the Sir Christoper Wren’s Old Royal Naval College in this brilliant aerial picture.

Vikng Star – dubbed “a Longship on steroids” – moored in Maritime Greenwich ahead of it’s maiden voyage last month in a nod to our status as the home of navigation and time. With a gross tonnage of 47,800 tons the Viking Star – the Norwegian river cruise company’s first ocean-going vessel – is classed as a “small ship.” But her owners say her size enables the palatial ship to reach the heart of cities around the world. It’s not the first cruise liner to visit Greenwich – The World is a regular visitor. But the number will increase when a cruise liner terminal is finished at Enderby Wharf, on the Greenwich Pensinsula, next year. Residents, however, have just announced they are objecting to updated plans because they fear ships moored as “floating hotels” will belch huge amounts of pollution into the air. They say huge vessels may burn up to two tonnes of fuel every hour – the equivalent of 1200 lorries with their engines idling. East Greenwich Residents Association says it is objecting to resubmitted plans for the terminal and residential development around it. In a statement it said: “Cruise vessels do not need to comply with strict emission treatment controls as do trucks, and they may well use dirtier fuel. Given that the proposed terminal will operate in the summer months, when pollution is worst, and that it lies at the heart of a dense residential area dramatically raises concerns. “East Greenwich already suffers from high, often illegal, air pollution levels. Yet another huge source of deadly pollution is not what anyone wants on their doorstep.” The group – which has helped conduct tests on air quality here for some time – says it believes blocks of apartments which are part of the scheme have been increased to subsidise the terminal, which it says is financially “unsustainable” long term. It wants a full environmental assessment and says developers should stick to European guidelines that call for on-shore energy supply rather than burning fuel on the ships themselves. The group says it has already measured illegal air pollution in the area. Seven out of 10 air quality monitors in installed with Clean Air UK recorded dangerous levels of nitrogen dioxide.

Deptford Creek

The world’s first largescale electrical power generating station, created by Sebastian de Ferranti, was built on this site in 1889. It produced high-voltage alternating current, the system universally in use today. Like other power stations on the river it had access to supplies of coal by ship and water for cooling. It ceased generating in 1983.

This creek forms the mouth of the River Ravensbourne and is the esite of Roman and Saxon settlements. A series of food mills, factories and a gin distillery used to line its banks. The former Deptford Power Station. It was demolished in 1992.

The Royal Borough of Greenwich also boasts – at 14km – one of the the longest river frontages in London. And the ideal way to combine river and ocean is a walk along the Thames Path...especially if you bring along a copy of illustrator and author David Fathers’ fabulous new book – The London Thames Path. Handily-sized and packed with information about the walkway from Putney Bridge to the Thames Barrier, the book has the feel of a Ladybird for grown-ups as well

RIVER artist and art blogger Peter Kent has clocked up his 120th article on his website www.riverwatchreturns.com. The blog is a chance to see his observations, drawings, comments and campaigns, centered around the Thames and waterways in general. His latest project is to record and highlight developments on Greenwich Penninsula and Canary Wharf ahead of major exhibitions later this year. Info: www.thegreenwichgallery.com

Following the Civil War, Charles II wanted to not only repair the damage done to the Queen’s House but also add a new riverfront section. Queen Mary The Baroque palace was started by John Webb (son-in-law of Court Inigo Jones) in 1664, though initially only the western block was King built. William III, who came to the English throne in 1689, preferred William Court the royal palace at Hampton Court to Greenwich. His wife Mary designated the Greenwich palace as a hospital for wounded and Road retired sailors. This would follow on from Charles II’s Royal Hospital in n ey Rom Chelsea for soldiers (see page 18). Sir Christopher Wren continued the work National started by Webb in 1694.

The Cutty Sark, a clipper sailing ship, was commissioned in 1869 and began her maiden voyage from Shanghai to London a year later, carrying mainly tea. That year, the Suez Canal opened and steam powered shipping began to shorten sea journey times. Though the Cutty Sark never won the ‘tea race’, she did break the record for carrying wool from Australia, for ten years from 1885, once covering 672km in 24 hours. However, this was the last ‘hurrah’ of the sail-powered boats in the commercial world. The Cutty Sark continued working until 1922, as the last clipper operating in the world. The Cutty Sark later became a training ship before retiring and, following restoration, was displayed at Greenwich in 1957. During a further restoration she was damaged by fire in 2007. The ship is now repaired and on permanent display by the Thames.

The original Tudor palace, now demolished, was the birthplace of Henry VIII and his daughters Mary and Elizabeth. James I commissioned Inigo Jones to design the elegant, Palladianstyled Queen’s House in 1616 for his wife (opposite page, far right). She never lived to see it finished. It was Charles I who completed the task, nineteen Creek Ro ad years later, for his French wife, Henrietta Marie. It was possibly the first complete Classical building to be erected in England. In the English Civil War (1642 –51) the house became a biscuit factory and a Dutch prisoner of war camp, during which time it was badly damaged. However, the Queen’s House would become the focal point of Wren’s baroque masterpiece, the Greenwich Hospital. By the late eighteenth century, the Queen’s House had become a school for the children of naval officers and remained so until 1933. Today it is part of the National Maritime Museum.

Hospice staff reach peak

STAFF and volunteers hiked 3560ft up Mount Snowdon to raise money for the Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice. Eleven adventurers – including chief executive Kate Heaps – completed the twoday escorted ascent despite “relentless rain and wind.” Fundraising manager Sarah O’Halloran said: “The weather added to the sense of achievement. I can’t wait to do it all again!” They hope to have raised at least £1,000 for G&BCH, which provides free specialist end of life care to around 2,500 adults each year.

LIFE-SIZE BRONZE SHOW A NEW show at Mycenae House will celebrate the life and work of Greenwich sculptor Brian Taylor. Some of his life-size bronzes – including a new casting of Burano Horse – will go on show in the grounds. Inside will be smaller pieces and drawings by Brian, who died aged 77 two years ago. The show has been made possible by a collector who has helped pay for special bases to be sunk into the ground so the sculptures are displayed safely. Brian’s

artist wife Michelle, who owns a jewellery repair business, said: “I nearly had to cancel the show as although Greenwich Council were keen to approve it, they weren’t offering any help for instalation costs. I asked a few collectors to help and one actually did. This gave me the idea of asking collectors to ‘sponsor’ a piece. “As we have a crumbling studio in Greenwich, full of early pieces which all need restoration, I thought a collector could choose a piece, pay for the

restoration and then receive the first editioned piece at a discounted price.” One of the highlights of the show from July 2 until October 30 will be Taylor’s 1972 Burano Horse – inspired by animals in the valley of Santa Maria di Burano, between Umbria and Le Marche in Italy. Taylor’s other works include The Dance of Lily Pier and The Death Cart. He was elected to the Society of Portrait Sculptors and the Royal Society of British Sculptors.

REVIEW: john kirkpatrick

Steeleye Span star a sensation Jacobean mansion Charlton House has hosted some true legends of British folk music in the past couple of years, foremost among them Martin Carthy and Wizz Jones. Now a new luminary has been added – John Kirkpatrick. Like Carthy and Jones, squeezebox virtuoso Kirkpatrick had been invited to play by brilliant local charity Global Fusion Music and Arts – and his St George’s Day concert was sensational. Playing a rare button accordion and an Anglo concertina, the ex-Steeleye Span stalwart began with two Shropshire dances, Wednesday Night and The Great Eastern Polka, before rousing fighting song The Packman’s Staff. What he called the “beautiful but grisly” ballad Lord Randall set the scene for the gleefully ghoulish Soul, Soul, which was followed by King George III’s Minuet and Prince William of Gloucester’s Waltz. The Pompalarie Jig is a song about the way private soldiers who fought at Waterloo were ignored after their victory. Its bitter words gained extra power by being performed a capella. Kirkpatrick added another anti-war song – I Didn’t Raise My Boy To Be A Soldier – before a medley of three 18th century tunes: St David’s Day, St Patrick’s Day and St George’s Day. He ended with The Death And Victory Of Lord Nelson, the uptempo See Me Dance The Polka and the stirring self-penned St George before playing two Morris tunes as an encore. The crowd – rightly – adored it. My concert of the year so far. MILES HEDLEY

Facing up to truth of Waterloo THE bicentenary of the Battle of Waterloo this month will be marked by a host of events including a national service at St Paul’s C a t h e d r a l fo r V I P s a n d descendants of those who fought at the battle. But researching a book on Britain’s 10 proudest years called Glory and B*llocks, I discovered that the story of Waterloo was much more than about a battle,writes COLIN BROWN. It was a period when Britain came closer than ever to revolution. Victory at Waterloo for the Duke of Wellington on on June 18 did not bring peace to Britain. When the soldiers returned they found a country at war with itself: the Monarchy was despised as never before, public debt to pay for the Napoleonic wars had ballooned to 230% of national GDP, and the Government made matters worse by opting for austerity. Sounds familiar? The period after Waterloo was more turbulent than anything we’ve experienced and far worse than the summer riots of 2011. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were laid off to fend for themselves. In 1815, with p o v e r t y spreading across new industrialised cities, MPs voted to put up the price of bread to protect profits of the landowners from cheap imports of corn. Troops had to protect Parliament from the mobs. And just when the rest of the country was forced to tighten its belt, the hated Prince George, the Prince Regent, went on a spree to turn his house by the sea into the outrageous fantasy palace, Brighton Pavilion. Faced with demands for reform to give ordinary people the vote, Wellington and the Tory Government opted for repression, resulting in a riot at Manchester, just four years after Waterloo. Soldiers cut down innocent protestors in what became known as the Peterloo Massacre. Waterstones in Greenwich have invited me to talk about my new book Scum of the Earth – What Happened to the Real British Heroes of Waterloo? It’s at 6pm on 4 June at the Greenwich store. Come along.

bike bridge plaN CAMPAIGNERS against a new road tunnel under the Thames at Greenwich are suggesting a bridge for walkers and cyclists instead.

No To Silvertown Tunnel says the £90m link would “boost the Greenwich Peninsula’s regeneration at a fraction of the cost” of the £1billion roadway. And they say it would avoid the risk of pollution generated by traffic on GAP TO BRIDGE: Possible site at Delta Wharf proposed roads into the new tunnel –

backed by Greenwich Cuncil – next to the existing Blackwall Tunnel approach. Transport for London has already costed a bridge between North Greenwich and Canary Wharf at £90m – adding it could be ‘iconic” and be “likely to encourage investment”. Darryl Chamberlain from No to Silvertown Tunnel said: “The last thing the Greenwich Peninsula needs is more jams and more pollution from the

Silvertown Tunnel. It’s a big ask, but politicians, planners and developers should be looking at linking Canary Wharf and the Greenwich Peninsula for walkers and cyclists. The formal consultation on the Greenwich Peninsula masterplan ended on April 27, but Greenwich planners may still accept comments from the public.

ELTHAM

with GAYNOR WINGHAM elthamarts@aol.co.uk @ElthamArts

t’s great to see people carrying on a tradition...The master mason repairing stonework on a cathedral; lace-makers creating complex and intricate patterns; wood turners making handcrafted furniture. The mixing of heritage and creativity passed down through centuries. is reassuring in such a volatile world. ltham has many people who value and celebrate their heritage. Last month I met a group of people here who carry out a tradition from several hundred years in Eltham - the St John’s Church bell ringers. They have been asking for volunteers to join the group and I went along. Bell ringing can take a lifetime to perfect, and making a start takes concentration and developing the skill of remembering to pull the bell, letting go at the right time and catching the ‘Sally’. If you thought it was simple , it’s not! You realise that there is a different language in bell ringing . The ‘Sally’ is the multi coloured padded part of the rope. You learn about ‘methods’ (how the bells are rung) and when the Tower Captain says ‘Plain Bob’ the experienced bell ringers know what to do. was told that when you master bell ringing you can go and join any group of bell ringers and be welcomed. The bell ringers in Eltham have rung in many churches around the country and regularly meet up with other bell ringers. Bell ringers apparently have a bit of a rowdy heritage themselves, being known for drinking and having a good time. I have no comment on that! If you would like to join the Eltham bell ringers contact Tower Captain David Holdridge david.holdridge@ntlworld. com ummer activities are building up in Eltham – there are PARKSfest events (www.parksfest.org) and the Progress Estate continue its programme of events to celebrate their Centenary (www.progressestate.blogspot.co.uk). At Eltham Arts we are working with Royal Greenwich to organise the Eltham Music Festival with three Saturdays of live music in Passey Place in July. With Bob Hope Theatre and the Priory Players putting on shows in June – and jousting at Eltham Palace – there is lots to do. e’re already planning an Eltham Winter Festival from October 31 to November 22. Lots of ideas for events already. Want to be involved or advertise on our programme? Just get in touch.

This column is your chance to share your passion for the arts in Eltham. Call me with yours news & views on 07976 355398 or email elthamarts@aol.co.uk

Americans I’ve met are often in awe of our long history, our Royalty and our historic and beautiful buildings. And they’re a little surprised when I tell them that their country started here...The theory goes like this: Many of the ships that voyaged to discover the new world left from Greenwich. In 1576 – waved off by Elizabeth I – explorer Martin Frobisher fired his guns from his ship Gabriel at Greenwich Reach. The Queen gave a brief address instructing his crew to be “diligent, obedient-and successful” on their search for the North West Passage. A year later Francis Drake became the first sea captain to circumnavigate the globe, founding a state in North America, near San Francisco, giving it the name New Albion. When he returned home in 1581, Drake was invited to Greenwich Palace for an audience with the Queen who knighted him and gave a great banquet aboard his ship the Golden Hind at Deptford. By the 1660s the vessel had rotted away, but an exact replica is now moored at Southwark. Walter Raleigh is famous for bringing fags and chips back from the Americas – or tobacco and potato as we prefer to call them. In 1583 – after naming Virginia after the Virgin Queen – he spent much of his time at court in Greenwich. The moment when he placed a cloak across a puddle is believed to have happened on the Woolwich to Greenwich road beside the Queen’s House so she CHARMER: Raleigh could cross from the Palace to the Park without dirtying her feet. James I was the first monarch to see America successfully colonised. Early official documents granting England the rights of early American colonies were signed at Greenwich which was his favoured palace. In 1620 the Mayflower sailed from Deptford with settlers bound for the Americas– many of the crew were from Deptford and Greenwich. Captain Jones and some of the crew are buried in St Nicholas Churchyard, Deptford. The state of Maryland was named after another Greenwich Royal – Henrietta Maria, wife of Charles I, lived here in the Queen’s House. Another prominent Greenwich family the Enderbys – whose shipping firm was based at Enderby’s Wharf – owned four ships involved in the infamous Boston tea Party that sparked the Civil War and, eventually, American Independence. I’ll bring you more Greenwich global connections in the coming months. If you’re coming on one of our Greenwich Visitours email me on the address below and I’ll find some connections for you.

A Royal THE Royal Standard has reopened after a big refurbishment. The good news is...it looks great.

The decor has improved and is a perfect match for the imposing Vi c t o r i a n b u i l d i n g , w h i c h dominates one corner of Blackheath Standard. It has a kind of timeless quality. There are several large open rooms, each with their own function: a sport bar corner; the main bar; family space; two gardens – you get the idea. T h e r e ’s s o m e t h i n g t o s u i t everyone here, and the whole thing works well. There’s something for everyone on the menu too – but I’m not sure this is such a success. The list of options is long and rather confusing. Rather than reading through all the dishes on offer, I let the blackboard choose for me. Take the pizza, for example: A blackboard in the back garden tells you that “pizzas are passe, you should try flat bread”, which I did. When the flat bread arrived at the table, I was pleasantly surprised. The dough was soft – like a pizza, funnily enough – but it was shaped like a flat bread. The taste, however, was overpowered by the sauce. My companion was very pleased with his ham, egg and chips. As for the beers, the Royal Standard is on

ees...Yes, they’re back in my bonnet. Eltham beekeeper Colin has a website which has excellent advice for newbies (new-bees? Ed) and where he shares tips with fellow apiarists. Visit www.elthambees.co.uk emember the days when Greenwich was all junk shops and totally eccentric? A decade of heavy development has changed all that, although there are still of few die-hard corners. The Junk Shop Tea Room, in Greenwich South Street, is hopefully here to stay serving real coffee for £1.80, afternoon tea and more. I am glad to report that there is not a plastic cup in sight... OOD will take centre stage at many a festival this summer. Here are two to watch out for: The Food Growing Conference at Woodlands Farm in Shooters Hill on June 23 is a great opportunity for anyone interested in food growing and farming to make new contacts. nd on Sunday July 12, as part of the Royal Greenwich Festivals, there’s a picnic in Eaglesfield Park, SE18. Enjoy your food while being serenaded by a community choir and classical quartet. he kids are off school soon,,,but you can still keep studying: There are lots of foodie courses at all levels. One that’s reasonably priced is the South London Wine School. Check their “curriculum” online here: www. southlondonwineschool.com rench “artisan bistro and deli” Champagne + Fromage opens in Greenwich Market this month. The family firm began as pop-up in Covent Garden, then Brixton and now has a shop on Greenwich Church Street. It promises over 50 soft and hard French cheeses plus tartines, terrine, rillettes, cassoulets, confits, soups and jams, saucisses and a selction of 25 trpes of Champagne to enjoy in the bistro or take away. pice fans will have noticed there is no Dan’s Curry Column this month...our expert has had to make a trip to his native South Africa. More news next time...

is more than in most pubs. So would I visit The Royal Standard again? I’m not sure. In truth on this occasion I couldn’t wait to leave – the music was extremely loud. The different function rooms split the crowd and it’s easy to feel alienated. Having said that, it was extremely busy so if you want to go and try it book ahead. SOLANGE BERCHEMIN

reviews: manzarek doors

ParkLife GLOBAL :Should spaceman replace General Wolfe?

By Greenwich Park manager Graham Dear

Adooration is deserved The Manzarek Doors went down a storm at the Pelton Arms in east Greenwich. In their first official UK gig since reforming, this tribute act to the late great Jim Morrison and his band won a very noisy, standing ovation. Frontman Bill Mcgruddy (Morrison: vocals) and his brother Joe (Manzarek: keyboard and backing vocals), Ed Phillips ( K r i e g e r : g u i t a r ) a n d Ti m Hargreaves (Densmore: drums) recreated Doors’ classic tracks which wowed the crowd. Light My Fire, Riders on the Storm, Moonlight Drive, Backdoor Man, Five to One, Break on Through, and a thunderous finale, When the Music’s Over, had them calling for more. “It was uncannily like Jim Morrison’s voice,’’ one audience member Rupert

Dickens told me. “They really recreate the Doors vibe. I thought I was back in Venice Beach in 68! And the audience loved ‘em madly!’’ The band’s sound is so authentic, it was endorsed by original members of the Doors. Bill Mcgruddy, who lived in Greenwich for many years, explained: “We met the the keyboard player, Ray Manzarek and he gave permission for us to use his name. And a year later at a meeting in the Rock Cafe with the original Doors guitarist, Robbie Krieger, Robbie divulged that Ray had played our demo tape and they’d really loved the authenticity of our sound.’’ See for yourself: the Manzarek Doors’ next gig is at the Red Lion in Godalming, Surrey, on June 13.

the singing hypnotist

UNDERWHELMING THE bumf for Christopher Green’s new creation The Singing Hypnotist – which had its world premiere at The Albany in Deptford – described it as a cross between a medicine show and a revivalist meeting served up with lots of laughs and a bit of science. All true. But in fact what was designed to highlight the show’s strengths exposed its fundamental weakness – that it was trying to pack too much into a little over an hour and ended up falling between two stools. Green, a showbiz professional and qualified hypnotherapist, is a charismatic presence and there was no doubt the audience was mesmerised by parts of the performance. But for me there

was too much talk and not enough walk. A sequence involving four audience members being hypnotised by a song was unconvincing, repeated references to contemporary fads such as mindfulness made him sound like a new age guru at times and his continual debunking of stage hypnotists seemed to undermine his own credentials. Having said that, there was also much to enjoy, not least an array of excellent songs, some good jokes and Green’s natural rapport and considerable presence. If only there had been less theory and more practice, this could have been a great evening rather than just an interesting one. MILES HEDLEY

ow hard can it be, planting a few marigolds? Well for me, typing away at my desk, in my nice cool office in this Whitsun miniheat wave, it’s not hard at all. But spare a thought for our gardeners because the summer bedding has just arrived. We are not talking about a few trays from the garden centre that can fit into the back of your car. We are talking four weeks of relentless planting as trolly after trolly of quality bedding plantings arrive from the City of London’s West Ham Park Nursery. y the end of June, 36,669 bedding plants will have been planted. Most go in the 30 circular beds in the Flower Garden which are planted up twice a year with Spring and Summer bedding. There are also eight hanging baskets for the Pavilion Cafe, Park Office and Police Station and 10 cast iron planters dotted around the Park buildings. his makes June one of the busiest months in the calendar for our gardeners as it’s not just the bedding that needs planting – the grass needs cutting, the herbaceous borders are growing and the Park is full of visitors too so there are bins to empty and events to be run. es, it’s hard work, but the bedding is also a joy for the gardeners as well as the visitors. Each of the beds has been carefully planned and the planting is the culmination of 12 months’ work. The designs for summer 2016 and their plant lists have to be submitted by

BLOOMING lot: Trolleys full of bedding plants

December 2015 so that the seed can be ordered and plants grown in time for next June. Most of the designs are done by Assistant Park Manager Michael, Gardens Supervisor Michaela, skilled gardener Zoe and apprentice gardener Frank. I like to keep my hand in too and do one or two. h i s y e a r I h a v e g o n e fo r a traditional summer bedding design made up of 700 pink Pelargonium Maverick Star, contrasting with a foliage plant edging of 50 Coleus Versa Lime around the outside and, in the centre of the bed, 250 Coleus Chocolate Splash and 30 dot plants in the centre of the ornamental grass Millet Purple Majesty. Imagine a roll of ice-cream that’s lime green on the outside, bright pink in the middle, with lime and chocolate ripple in the centre and a chocolate bulls-eye. Wow, that should be good enough to eat! he summer bedding includes lots of your favourite flowers such as Petunia, Gazania, Marigolds and Begonias that will flower all summer long. Come and see!

MICK ARMSON

PRINTMAKER

hen I moved to Greenwich 25 years ago I crossed the river reluctantly. It’s just one of those things – you get entrenched in north or south. I was living in Queens Park W9, but then I met my future wife, Veronica, who lived in Greenwich. We married, brought up our children here and never looked back. I was born in Wolverhampton went to Art College in Liverpool then came to London as a freelance Illustrator for The Guardian, The Sunday Times and London Transport amongst many others, for 15 years. hen our children, Joseph and Megan, were young I took a career break to look after them, as Veronica is a full-time teacher. I took on voluntary work, becoming Chair of Governors at our children’s Primary School and also a governor of their secondary school. It was a very rewarding time. The education that Megan and Joseph have received from our local schools has been amazing. I did miss printmaking, so eventually I took studio space again, now based at Second Floor Studios, Woolwich. I have a fabulous view along the river, past the Thames Barrier and the O2, to Canary Wharf. Being near water inspires me, and the River Thames often features in my work. People buy my pictures during Open Studios weekends and via my website (mickarmson.com) and my prints have been shown in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. e are Charlton Athletic season ticket holders. Joseph is currently at Newcastle University but when he comes home we still go together and he attends many northern away games! Charlton is a real community club. Now that our children are older we go out more. I love Haven’t Stopped Dancing Yet!’s 70s and 80s soul, funk and disco nights, which are for people like me, who remember the tunes first time round. No one is judging what you wear or how you dance; the spirit of an HSDY! night is so uplifting. We have so many great pubs along the river. The Pelton Arms is slightly off the tourist trail, has great beer, live music and vinyl nights. Likewise The British Oak, Old Dover Road, deserves a mention with good pies and live music. Great local rockabilly band Ronnie Ripple and the Ripchords play both venues. Check them out! he London Marathon passes the end of our road and we have always been involved with it in some way. In 2010 I ran it myself in just over four hours, and still go run regularly. My favourite run is a circular six-mile route from East Greenwich to Greenwich Yacht Club, along the river via the O2, the industrial area, past Greenwich Power Station to the Cutty Sark; then around the perimeter of our wonderful park and through the Flower Garden. It’s also a lovely manageable walk. ometimes as residents we forget there are people who travel half way around the world to visit Greenwich – we are so lucky to have it all on our doorstep!

The Blog of Samuel Pepys T onight my wife averred that she has wearied of the making of our dinner; saying that it was time I did play my part in roasting the viands.”I am as apt to do the cooking,” I said, “as a bear is to lay an egg.” “It takes just three minutes to boil one,” she said. Within that time I could have drained a glass of sherry-sack and frisk’d the maid, but I forbore from saying so. She then did point to the door and said “Takeaway”. In this fit she brooks argument less willingly than does the Empress of Russia when buying shoes and I crept out in a most mouse-like manner. id see that the Takeaway-Shop hath a sign which did say “King Wok” and was put in a stound to find that was full of Chinese. It is known that the Chinese King does demand obeisance from visitors to his court, so I knelt upon the floor and lowered my head, my wig falling off and the woman beside me walking onto it and giving a loud cry thinking, as she said, that she had stepped upon a dog. Much embarrassed, I stood and the fellow at the counter asked what I did want. When I demanded a brace of boiled mutton legs and ten quails he shook his head and pointed to a board

which was full of words of which I knew not and did think they were rules of etiquette of which we know the Chinese place much importance. As the fellow explained that the words were but dishes the churl behind me told me to hurry, I telling them that his rough manners were ill-suited to the Orient. I did make my order and can say, to my pleasure, that I now know the Chinese words for “Chicken” and for “Pork.” They are “Seventeen” and “Twenty Six.” In the Chinese manner, after asking for the food one must stand aside and wait, no doubt for the King in the next room to finish eating. he Chinese do wrap their chicken and pigs into small boxes. On opening them, I found the meat to be pack’d with straw which I threw away. My wife did say, “Don’t do that, those are bean shoots,” but I told her that I was the one who had learnt the Chinese ways and she knew naught. After eating the meat, I can say that their food hath much flavour but there is little of it after the packing has been thrown away. I am yet hungry and must return to the Takeway-Shop for my fill. I do ponder on the Chinese word for two chickens: “Thirty-Four?”
