PUTNEY. MY BELOVED HOME BY THE RIVER.

Living in Putney continually inspires me. For, there is nowhere else like it, anywhere. Waking up & walking alongside the Thames on a summers morning, whilst listening to green macaws & geese waffling, is simply stunning. Or sitting inside one of its beautiful parks on a Sunday afternoon always pay dividends. Even a slow meander around Putney`s ubiquitous lanes, on a rainy Monday afternoon, will bring joy to a heavy heart, & I am sure its green & watery soul is as luscious now as it was two hundred years ago. This could be why it has filled the hearts of many poets & musicians with much creativity over the years ? It has me. 

 Nowhere else has offered me such happiness & inspiration. Its people have cared & educated me. They have shown me the importance of honesty & the path to success. And, if your wise, its fairness & guidance will also teach you the ways of good living.

Loyalty is a word much bandied around, but it is a word that does justice to how I feel about my tenure here in this great town. For I have lived here longer than I have lived anywhere & I have no intention of moving anywhere else. Putney is my home.
