Happy New Year

Thank you to everyone who has liked, reblogged or just looked at my images in 2022. I appreciate your support. Last year every photo was posted unedited on the day or very shortly after midnight. I've decided to take a year off from photographing Greenford, partly because I need to concentrate on other projects, but also because I got too much attention for doing it. I avoid sharing identifiable images of other people in my blogs but few seem to have noticed that or understood why. Carrying a DSLR in Greenford has led to my being accused of planning burglaries, being an undercover police officer and having evil intentions towards children. As you can probably imagine, doing all that simultaneously is quite tiring and I need some time off. I'll be looking at everyone else's blogs in 2023 instead. I hope this year will be prosperous, healthy and happy for all my followers.

Most attending performances at Greenford Hall don't get to see corners like this but I was privileged to get a brief tour backstage after a performance of HEOS Musical Theatre's annual pantomime. This year it is "Sleeping Beauty". They began giving performances in 1911 as a local operatic society and are still going strong despite wars and pandemics. A really fun event, with some talented musicians and singers, if you live in west London and you can sing in tune this could be for you: https://www.heos.org.uk/ Greenford Hall, Ruislip Road, Greenford, London Borough of Ealing, London, UK, December 2022. #theatre #pantomime #Greenford #LondonBoroughofEaling #London #UK #December2022 #suburbs #suburban #suburbia #photography
