点评:Earlier today I went on Jane’s brilliant guided walk ‘The Diary of a Nobody - Mr Pooter’s High Brow Holloway’. I have read ‘Mr Pooter’s Diary’ but honestly, it’s not necessary to have done so to enjoy the walk. I learned so much about places I’d passed by hundreds of times without noticing umpteen interesting details. Jane had a wonderful collection of photos of old Holloway, making the contrast between them and now easy to see. But the walk’s as much about the aspirations, the fashions, the attitudes of Victorian Holloway as about the architecture. Interesting to see the differences, but even more so the similarities, with modern times. Jane was very engaging and the way she interwove the fictional aspects with reality was clever and fun! I will definitely look out for other walks by her.
