Brilliant Bayswater - Rather Splendid London Walk

"Bayswater is a delightful neighbourhood just west of Edgware Road and east of Notting Hill.
As usual Joolz visits some excellent establishments and talks about the history of the area. There is also the usual friendly and hilarious banter with Simon his cameraman.
We visit the Pet Cemetery with over a thousand graves. There are tales of highwaymen, the leader of the Rastafarians, fake houses, Albanian heroes and much more.
The amazing story of Whiteleys in Bayswater and also the place where Mr Creosote exploded. Beautiful art deco Turkish baths which haven't changed in a hundred years, an underground ice-rink and a fabulous 85 year old who performs every night at The Tiroler Hut, an Austrian beer hall in the heart of Bayswater for the last 55 years.
Bayswater is also home to the Greek church where they filmed James Bond Goldeneye.
We pass Sting's first london flat and Stiff Records who signed Madness, Ian Dury and The Damned."

So viel Wärme trug das Licht des Samstags, sie schwebt selbst in der frühen Dunkelheit noch dicht und betörend über allem. Reise wieder ostwärts, dem großen hellen Mond entgegen, der umwoben von einer Aura aus Nebel und Glanz um die Fantasie beobachtender Geister schmeichelt. Den Eiligen und Wütenden aus der Bahn treten, Brücken und Felder hinter sich lassen, halb noch in den Hügeln, halb schon wieder in den Vortorten und ihrem Beton.

I often lack the fitting words, like a silent observer in a busy world. It has always been my belief that silence often says as well as the endless chatter that surrounds us. In this world where people talk incessantly I find more exhaustion than enrichment. Their words shower down on me like a constant rain and I seek refuge in silence. Again and again I am drawn away, far into the unknown. There, where language falls silent, lies a peculiar form of peace, and in the distance I recognise home.
