'MENTAL HEALTH APEX' & 'LAWLESS IN LONDON'

****MENTAL HEALTH APEX & LAWLESS IN LONDON
I Reasoned At First That It Was The Time Spent In The Forest, Communing With Nature And People With Whom I Have Formed Significant Bonds. As Well As Much Needed Time Alone. It Made Sense Then, That The Litter, The Acrid Odour Of Urine, The Permanent Hum With An Intermittent Buzz, The Whirl Of Traffic Noise And The Disordered Energy, The Fully Stretched Working People, Their Potential Unrealised, Not Fully Utilised, Trapped. And The Numerous Lifeless Beings Within Functioning Moving Parts, Without Consciousness, Garments Soiled With Faeces. The Phlegm And Ejecta Ridden Streets, Felt……Unbearable. But This Surely Was Normal, Usual. I'd Been Away, And So This Was The Consequence, I Told Myself. I Would Readjust In A Day Or Two. But I DIDN'T. Before Long I Was Surrounded By 'FOR SALE' Property Boards On Every Street That I Walked Along. Neighbours That Were Part Of The Fabric Of The Community Are Leaving In Their Droves. Even The Old Guards Of Streets I'd Once Lived On, Have Also Recently Departed. And Though Both Groups Are Dissimilar, They Echoed The Same Sentiment "Had Enough. I'm Off", Or "Had Enough. It's Too Much Now. We're Off!" It Is Indeed. And What Will Remain?

In Case You Haven't Read The Channel Banner, We Appreciate Timeless Style Here. I'm Amazed By The Craftsmanship Of The Pre-1960s. The 1970s Produced Some Durable, Dependable And Occasionally Elegant Wear. Which In This Instance Are Still Functioning Perfectly Without A Loose Thread Or A Wobble! However, Subsequent Decades Produced Questionable Quality. Every Item Of Clothing And Shoes We Purchased In The 1990s Onward, Fell Apart And Needed CPR! We Support Artisans, Cobblers, Milners And Quality Tailors, Who Served Classic Apprenticeships With A Traditional Instruction. Years Of Assisting Family Relatives Born In The 1930s, And Who Apprenticed At Hatton Gardens (London) In Their Mid Teens During The 1940s, Revealed To My Young Eyes, The Commitment To A Task, Their Discipline, Skills, Precision, And The Resulting Astonishing Beauty Of Their Work/Their Love. It Is Always Preferable To Consume Fewer Items Where That Particular Type Of Attention To A Commission Is Applied, Than To Consume Seasonally And Throw Away, Because The Quality Is Too Pitiful To Donate To A Charity!
If You Are An Artisan, Please Make Yourself Known Here. Thank You 🙏🏿
