And since November's a month of remembrance here's George Bernard Shaw. A regular heath walker up from Fitzrovia to Wyldes Farm @CityCorpHeath and he was also a campaigner for public toilets in Camden.
Here's to the great GBS who died on this day 1950. Playwright, music critic, Fabian, philanthropist, lover of dogs, cats, cheese, tweed and Mrs Patrick Campbell. Part time curmudgeon and National Treasure RIP
@ShawSoc @literarybritain @ConwayHall @LSEnews @ShawTheatre @thefabians
November can be bleak, but here's some Christina Rosetti to help the month along. Christina volunteered at a hostel for "fallen" women on Highgate Hill and was known as Sister Christina.
"The earth lies fast asleep, grown tired
Of all that's high or deep;
There's nought desired and nought required
Save a sleep."

Is this the most beautiful cinema?
