Christmas Eve sky, East Sheen, 2018
December had been a month of gloomy skies, so this clear spell - not long before sunset on Christmas Eve - was very welcome.

Pandemonium in Sheen Lane
A digital-age version of the local toy-shop/ model-shop. I like the cheerful colours, and the fairground lettering. Not so sure about that flag - the skull & cross-bones.
Shops in Sheen tend to come and go, but this one seems to be a survivor - long may it prosper!

Sheen Lane, Mortlake
View south, from the corner of St Leonard's Road. The row of white-painted cottages is known (I believe) as Nelson Terrace, and was probably one of the first developments in this area after the coming of the railway.
The awning in the foreground is a relic of the former Thresher's off-licence.
Photo taken at about 1.40 on a bright January afternoon.
