It all felt a bit like being Charles Ryder returning to Brideshead... Had a good look around our old manor after the Tony Carr book signing at the Newham Bookshop on Saturday. The Boleyn Ground has now been replaced by a monstrous carbuncle of flats. Ken's Cafe, alas, is now Bad Boyz Diner, while our pub of (bad) dreams, the Central, is being refurbished as flats and retail (as my pal Lisa points out they always did have retail if you count the woman selling dodgy dvds). Better news is that the Boleyn has lost its sticky carpet and is now a splendid Victorian boozer with excellent beers.
