Farm Street Church Hall

Father Dominic, the parish priest of the Jesuit Church in Farm Street, was on Sunday morning, kind enough to permit me to meet some parishioners in the  hall of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Farm Street, London W1, following each of the two mid-morning masses and endeavour to sell copies of my new novel. 

Tony, who voluntarily keeps the book shop in the Farm Street Church hall updated, was kind enough to provide some invaluable help in setting up the sale table.

The new novel pictured below, is entitled Trainee Solicitors' Loves Lives and Tribulations.


And I was fortunate enough  at the  same time, to be able to offer copies of my earlier autobiography, which too is pictured - see above.

The parishioners of the Church of the Immaculate Conception Farm Street, are very kind and  most interesting during the  discussions of a large range of topics,  over coffee and biscuits together, in their beautiful church hall. 

My younger brother and sister in law attended to assist after the second mass. They and we had a very enjoyable morning which I hope was also experienced by the parishioners.

After the morning's book sales meeting, sister in law, younger brother, mrs maytrees and I, decamped to Green Park, where we were fortunate enough to find a bench under a shady tree for our picnic on what proved to be a hot sunny afternoon.

On our walk back to the District Line at Victoria, the presence once more after two years of Covid-19,of large numbers of tourists particularly outside of Buckingham Palace was pleasing. There  was also a 10k race which commenced in Piccadilly whilst we were walking to Farm Street, but perhaps more intriguingly  on the way back, were several hundred roller skaters in yellow, racing by the Palace bookshop accompanied by at least one police woman, who was keeping an eye on them from her own roller skates.
