STRIKE WALK THREE
This is the second part. Link to the first part at the end.
The Cuckoo's Calling - Chapter 2
Holland Park Avenue to Denmark Street
Leaving Holland Park we enter what I imagine Charlotte regards as the slum neighborhood of Notting Hill.
Now. I think it's time we deal with the elephant in the room. We assume Strike decides to walk to his office in Denmark Street as this is the cheapest method of travel and his finances are dire. But ...
Just get on the night bus, Strike, you bloody drama llama! You'll be in Tottenham Court Road quicker than you can say Freedom Pass.
It's good he didn't because it's a beautiful morning and I need a walk. Notting Hill Gate becomes Bayswater Road, which always reminds me of Bella, Max, Honey, Bernie and William squeezed in a car arguing about the route in Notting Hill, while Anna Scott is about to get on an aeroplane and leave forever, and also Rhys Ifans calling Hugh Grant "You daft prick" which I am sure is a sentiment many will share.
There's loads of good stuff along here. A convent, the building that housed the Oranjhaven, a statue of the 12th Earl of Meath, who stuck with the name Reginald even though he was an earl with his own plinth and could presumably have afforded something better.
But we're in character so we can't look at any of that. No, we are heartbroken at the demise of our relationship with a woman, which we ended because she's not apparently pregnant with the child we didn't want (I am being tongue-in-cheek, so don't @ me 🤡).
Actually I did wander off because I wanted to know about the church that was mostly demolished due to the ravages of mould. They don't make mould like they used to.
Strike won't have noticed we've reached a nice-looking pub and sign of better days to come. Chin up, Corm. Nearly Robin-o'clock! 😁

Old Rockers, Roland and Brand Consistency
Old rockers and brand consistency ...
I couldn’t resist when I saw this gig announced…
Glenn Hughes formerly of Deep Purple, one of the greatest rock bands of all time was touring the UK to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their album ‘Burn’ .
The gig was at the Electric Ballroom in Camden, London and my London buddy Roger agreed to come along with me and spare Deirdre the experience of having to “suffer” through four hours of…

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

STRIKE WALK THREE
This is the third part.
Links to other parts at the bottom.
The Cuckoo's Calling - Chapter 2
Holland Park Avenue to Denmark Street
Strike may be in turmoil but I am loving this walk, which is completely straight ahead and so nil chance of getting lost despite being half asleep. We pass some royal parks ...
Red phone boxes 😱, balconies with shrubs 😱😱😱
And we're at Marble Arch, a cour d'honneur for our coeur d'honneur. Who is probably very hungry by now, I know I am.
Being ignorant of most things royal (child of a staunch republican woman) I did not know until I read it just now that they moved Marble Arch and it used to stand approximately in the position of the Buckingham Palace balcony. They needed more space so they decided to move it and build an extension. It was a can-do age.
And into Oxford Street.
First glimpse of the giant waffle.
Hello, old friend.
And home! Or, office! I suppose.
Disparate images of the previous night flickered through his mind ...the journey on foot across the dark city to his office, where he had slept for an hour or two in his desk chair.
The End (but how shall this be the end, that is in its very nature a beginning ...)
