Wonderful to celebrate 50 years of BETJEMAN'S BANANA BLUSH with Jim Parker's family and a jam-packed audience at London's magnificent The Charterhouse last Sunday. More Bananas to come, watch this space! (📷 Matthew Johnson Photography)

Fascinating old book with some wonderful essays revealing views of cinema from late 1930s, including a chapter written by a pre-Hollywood Alfred #Hitchcock . Plus Graham Green, Robert Donat, Calvacanti, Korda, John Betjeman (he’d been film critic at the Evening Standard).

As Betjeman once observed:
“Come friendly sharks and swim to Britain,
We’re sorry that all the bays have shit in.”

🐁 Oh, there’s a mouse in the Betjeman Arms!
Didn’t get those in Wakefield.

Today is the memorial of St. Endellion.
An ancient collegiate church in North Cornwall bears her dedication.
Sir John Betjeman loved this Church and included it in one of his poems. He went on to say that this church goes on praying even when there are no worshippers in it.

morning yawning,
and struggling to rhyme,
lazily and lapis lazuli.
