The board on Kennet Lane. Three languages, one address. June 2008 -
Number 20. The door everyone remembers walking through. -
The courtyard, and the tree that outlasted every one of us. -
The terrace. Where the evenings went. June 2008 -

You will have better photographs than these.
Send them over and they go into the archive.
