Cutty Sark To Greenwich North Tube Listening To The 'Dockers' Memoryscape Audio Trailer In Photos - Part

Bit of learning.... we’re going on a bear hunt... found the ‘worksheets’ online.... kids colour their own map for the bear hunt then make little figures to move around the map as in the story :) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXbOuAKs6bx/?utm_medium=tumblr

Cool! Visible Storage & Study Centre at Brooklyn Museum....

When I moved back from Austria to the U.K. Summer 2022 with two cats by train and the help of my sister :)

Sunday saw one of the initial first brainstorming meetings for what will be a Crystal Palace Fun Palace @funpalaces - they happening all around, for all ages, the weekend of 4th/5th October 2014. Plenty of time to get involved! Find out more about what it’s all about here:

Who wouldn't want to take a bus to Pleasantville? Just so long as or isn't a Sunday... I came to upper state new York instead though for the big day tomorrow :)

Just one of the sound recordings I made in Victoria Park

Here and now at The Cloisters on a tour of the gardens.... very interesting

Finale of the fantastic spoken word event that was part of the crystal palace overground festival! Glad I went. Would be great to have some park related spoken word in the audio trail.... Ill look into it. Time to sleep ready for the full on festival day tomorrow...

I must apologise for the absence here!

I have not kept up this blog as much as I wanted to. I have been adding the little updates of my recording on my Facebook Page - and have not found a way to link those up directly with this page! I will try and write some more posts here. However, in the mean time here is a link to my Facebook page:

You can also follow me as ret_uk on Twitter - which is linked with my Facebook updates...

In brief, I have now finished two weeks of my main recording for what I hope will be a pilot audio trail of the park. I have really enjoyed it and been extremely appreciate of everyone who has helped me in some way - from suggesting people to contact to being interviewed or even creating music for it!

I will continue to collect stories as they come, but will not actively pursue them during what will become a time of editing and report writing!!

anticipating the crystal palace overground festival...

Hello all who is following!

I am grateful for your following and reading!

Apologies for the lack of recent updates, but the reason is purely that I have been spending my time on other work and with more of the organising.

I made a few classmates speak and be recorded by the audio recorder, which went well I think and I now feel ready to go with the proper recording. Forms all done and little ad's to give to anyone I meet who might want to take part. There has been a bit more social media advertising as well - through some people kindly offering to post my ad further on other local forums. I've ordered a few more books to look into and done a bit of an essay plan - for when I read the books! I am also going to listen again and carry out more audio trails in the coming week or so!

This weekend is the Crystal Palace Overground Festival - which I am quite excited about! I shall be trying to catch as much of it as possible and also again will always be on the lookout for new recruits! I am attending a reminiscence session tomorrow - with an unknown amount of attendees, but will be interesting all the same, regardless of if I meet anyone who would like their story recorded! I just love hearing anything new about Crystal Palace history! (Well any history to be honest!) I'll also be possibly helping out the LAS Theatre people, who I've never met, but seem to be creating something really interesting at the festival... they are creating a cabinet of curiosities and have variety of performers of science and more!

I've also been as before been observing all I can about the world around me - especially when on London buses - much more interesting that other forms of London transport - even from the sense that you get much more of a sense of scale of all around you! I am the nosiest traveller as well - looking at all that is going on outside!

I might upload a couple of quotes and/or pics to add some more bright to the blog!
