Chapter 1 Scene 4.2

This is the second half of the scene I posted last.

It is here:

Chapter 1 Scene 4.2

Several thoughts come to mind as I think about this scene

Here is Kensington Gardens, I suppose on a day not unlike the one I describe. I used to play there when I was a child - little realising what traditions I was following.









A pair of Edwardian ladies. I like to think of mine dressed like this, Typically though women wore clothes more severe.

The statue of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens is famous. His shadow is cast over my story a little.












For anyone who happens to read this who is not a Londoner, Kensington Gore is a real place. It is also, as it happens, slang for the fake blood used in the theatre.

Here is Kensington Gore dividing The Royal Albert Hall from the Gardens.

The traffic then though was nearly all horse drawn. (This is actually Brompton Road, not far from where my scene is set.

I don't suppose the real Albert Hall actually have an observatory in its roof. It should have though.

Here is a still from 'Finding Neverland'. It is Kate Winslett on a picnic in Kensington Gardens. This made me think a bit about the appearance of my Wendy.

Something I shall post about another time.
