I really enjoyed it - opened my eyes up to a few things that you just take for granted (for example, almost every pub I passed had a bookies right next door (or one door away). And yes, I waited for a #40 and got that back :o)Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780558832861165256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130397031953077904.post-36225504936216822432011-12-04T08:04:24.416-08:002011-12-04T08:04:24.416-08:00So Donna, did you get a #40 bus to take you back? ...So Donna, did you get a #40 bus to take you back? Or did you have to change numbers? And those photos do tell a story, don't they! What a psychogeographic stroll! And how the bus driver heard the word psycho, and said there were some there, interesting story. You have true grit, girl, able to go places and see things and even find good things to say about it. And yes, the planners certainly should have to live in these estates, good point, poster! Thanks for the Ian Rankin links, and also the previous blog showing his book sculpture piece and all the other book sculptures, what art that is, loved it!<br />BobbieBobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12489240376198748579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130397031953077904.post-17743203478793759152011-12-02T07:22:12.349-08:002011-12-02T07:22:12.349-08:00Oops sorry, Cornwell should be Cornwall. A Freudia...Oops sorry, Cornwell should be Cornwall. A Freudian slip after reading about those who had abandoned reading her books. <br /><br />Planners should be made to live on some of these estates. I watched one of chef Rick Stein's TV programs yesterday when he visited the Hartcliffe Estate in Bristol. There are places like this all over Britain. Rick's face when he was told that the woman had £30-£40 to spend on food for four people for a week was something to behold.Uriah Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02046023583067265187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130397031953077904.post-18288689890489891222011-12-02T06:35:00.120-08:002011-12-02T06:35:00.120-08:00Donna - This is fantastic!

I would like to point out that the rest of Easterhouse is far, far nicer than reports make out (it does, however, have its problems - mostly, as far as I can see, to do with the fact that the planners built housing estates which were just houses (originally high rise blocks) - no shops, nothing that makes a community a community. Things are better than they used to be and there are some brilliant community projects there. They've pulled all the high rises down and most of the houses are new and really lovely. It's nothing like what it used to be and I think its reputation is a tad undeserved. That patch of wasteground is a little bleak, though :o)Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780558832861165256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130397031953077904.post-40248357184846839412011-12-02T05:55:31.301-08:002011-12-02T05:55:31.301-08:00Brilliant Donna.
