I recently ventured down to the estate in my milk float as I did daily for many years as those of you who remember me will recall ( I now deliver in Tufnel Park) and I came away sad , feeling like a ghost amongst ghosts,. I didn’t see a single person I knew , sometimes things are best left as memories I suppose . I hear you are now Peabody people ,well you could do a lot worse , I delivered milk to the Covent Garden Peabody Estate and the tenants there were very happy with their estate as were we on the Crown ( I was born in Windsor Hse in 1948 ) so I think I spent the best years of the Crown estate both living and working .To those of you that know me hello and to those who don’t I say enjoy living in Regents Park , I did and still would if I could afford it . All the best Mick Hawkins.
