Brixton (Category) - 23 posts

For the past month, Thorsten and I have been training with Dennis Dlomo's Fitness Club in Kingston Frost Park, Brixton.

Brixton, a.k.a. Brixie -- a cat named after a suburb -- left the world far too soon last Friday night. Here is our memorial to her.

The 2023 edition of the Brixton Light Festival was even bigger, better, and more soul-nourishing than the 2022 edition.

My boyfriend Thorsten created a series of linocut prints honoring Brixton monuments. I tried (and failed) to capture his prints in photos.

Yola Minnaar, a cook and community leader, makes and sells koesisters, a Cape Malay specialty, from her kitchen in Fietas, Johannesburg.

On Youth Day, the Brixton community held a spinning demonstration and fashion show/market to warm up for the Brixton Light Festival.

Brixton-based artist Bronwen Findlay, together with her team, created a beautiful mosaic for the garden at Everard Read gallery.

A new cat, Brixton, has joined the Blogitect household. We call her Brixie for short. Trixie is still getting used to her.

Thorsten and I -- aka the Blogitects -- are leading a fun arts and architecture walking tour through Brixton on 12 November.

I attended a service at St. Nicholas of Japan, an Orthodox church in Brixton. The service was beautiful and got my mind off current events.

The second annual Brixton Light Festival happened on Sunday evening. It was the coolest community event I've attended in years.

Thorsten has been diagnosed with covid for the second time -- presumably omicron. Fortunately we have a nice house to isolate in together.
