London says goodbye as we emigrate.

Of the 200 or so films that I've made with my phone in the last year, I think this is the one I like the most.

We went on our favorite London walk for the last time yesterday - along the River Thames at Hammersmith.

In two and a half weeks, we're moving to Canada.

I started shooting a plane in the clouds, thinking about making a film about us leaving, and suddenly something magical happened...

...and kept on happening! Instead of fading, they got brighter and more intense!

In mythology, religion, art, literature, music and film, the Rainbow is a powerful symbol, a sign of hope and life and new beginnings.

See you on the other side

Please excuse the lip sync - it's a problem with Ovi’s flash video conversion - I hope they can get it sorted out soon.

"The next person to inspire me": Mrs Patel from our local Post Office, about to be closed down by incompetence and greed in government and the privatised Post Office. After 35 years of service to our community - what does she get? An OBE? No. Termination.

The Government are currently engaged in a disgraceful act of cultural vandalism. I believe that in 10-20 years - and beyond - they will be remembered for two things: The Iraq War, and the loss of the Post Offices.

For the sake of a mere £200m per year, they are closing the last remaining centres of community in thousands of towns, villages and urban neighbourhoods. This is a brief interview with Mrs Patel, who has run our Post Office for 35 years. Two posts offices within half a mile of here are closing. Seven in our Borough. (and of course thousands throughout the country.) We have a higher density of older and disabled people in this ward than anywhere else in the borough - people who will lose vital services.
