I first visited there in 1983 and spent months and months there working in short segments over the next dozen years.

Still in Diapers?<BR/>(What a cheeky fella?)<BR/>Thank you for your sweet comment.<BR/><BR/>@ the scribe of rotten hill - hi, pleased to meet you here, what an interesting name you have chosen - more intrigue. <BR/><BR/>Although I was aware of the impressive impact of Trellick Tower at the time, I had no idea it would become so iconic - it has quite a reputation in architectural circles.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure you're quite accurate with the zither memory - just the sort of oddity one could find there - haven't been back for ages - that would be an interesting visit.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your comment.Ellumbrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04692032656434354445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799711731360231873.post-9221195602865837882008-08-23T12:49:00.000+01:002008-08-23T12:49:00.000+01:00I used to come here (Notting Hill) to visit my gra...I used to come here (Notting Hill) to visit my grandparents who lived on Oxford Gardens till the mid 70s and have very clear memories of walking with them through Portobello Market.<BR/><BR/>For some reason I always remember a zither on one of the stalls, though I often wonder if my mind painted that in later. I wrote an essay about it for school shortly afterwards so maybe it's in there somewhere.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks for your article. I live in the area now, but you brought back the magic of the Market in the 70s.<BR/><BR/>P.S. 1976 sure was a hot one!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799711731360231873.post-32089445015742860542008-08-23T07:53:00.000+01:002008-08-23T07:53:00.000+01:00What a charming moving picture you have composed w...What a charming moving picture you have composed with your words!
