This is the view you get if you are a millionaire; a member
of the new London kleptocracy living in expensive riverside flats.
Mind you, if you were living at Chelsea Harbour which is
further upstream to our left, you’d be a Russian Billionaire.
This is Imperial Wharf; it’s just gangstas and dealers,
thieves and everyday businessmen.
These are the yachts - over on the other side of the river you can just make out the helicopter landing - nice and convenient.
We’re boiling eggs and Robyn’s making dozens of Tuna salad
sandwiches. There’s Lager and a cigar.
Mmmmmmmh!
It’s a party.
We’re on our way to The Imperial Wharf Jazz Festival. It’s
here every year, St. George the builder/property speculators put it on for us
specially.
Last year it was such a big deal for me; if you’d offered me
a concert (Jazz, that is) to die for, that would have been it – the amazing
Larry Stabbins (of Working Week fame) and The James Taylor Quartet – purveyors of
Soul, Jazz and Funk on the Hammond organ.
It was also such an achievement just to be there.
Today?
I’m OK for a little while, when I wasn’t last year.
And I made it back too and that’s special.
This afternoon I’ll be uploading some photo’s of the day – it
was fun.
It was a lot of fun!
