My Dirty Back Passage

Today, for a bit of color, I thought I would share with you some photo from the back passage a few houses down from my place.

It runs through the middle of 16 blocks of houses, and allows for pedestrian (and dog) access from 1 side of Harringay to the other away from the hustle and bustle of the main thoroughfares. There are also about 3 schools directly adjacent to it, so presumably it offers a safe way for the kiddies to walk to school.

Back Alley

It also seems to be a popular place for people to take their dogs for “walks”. I can tell this because despite the availability of special containers every block, there are always dog “walks” all over the alley.

I don't think the dogs can read

People seem to be very worried about the squirrels getting into their yards, and will often put up extreme measures to keep them out.

Squirrels keep out!

No squirrels allowed

Londoners are very environmentally conscious, and every day you can find evidence of many fine individuals putting out furniture and household goods for impromptu recycling. Simply pick and choose from a cornucopia of delights, yours for the carrying off. (Blue leather couch not pictured)

    Nice back passage (nothing I haven’t seen before, mind).

    How’s the game business? Has my brilliant review boosted sales?

    I guess you are a doctor.
    The game business is a bust. I’ll write up a post about it soon.
