| John Lewis to re-open at Westfield |
This will be reassuring to those who had feared that the flagship store might be on the list of post-Lockdown closures; John Lewis lost over £500m in the last financial year.
Westfield, which is currently almost deserted, will again become Europe's biggest shopping mall once it re-opens after Lockdown ends. At its heart is the £33 million John Lewis store, which first opened in 2018.Woody is eight years old, lives in Shepherd's Bush and attends the same school as my own children. He is a little bit different from the other kids; he has autism, and today, Woody's unique way of viewing the world has led to a new line of Lockdown art, including greetings cards, which feature Woody's unique take on life under Lockdown. To see more, and feel a genuine sense of inspiration about the ways in which special needs can indeed lead to special gifts, watch the BBC video above. To support Woody and buy his art, go the official site at www.woodism.co.uk.

Knowing the problem of bicycle theft in London, my solution has always been to own an ancient bike that no-one in their right mind would bother to steal; in my case, an ancient Raleigh ladies bike of uncertain vintage.
Traffic traveling along the south side of the Shepherd's Bush Green cannot turn North, at least until the works are complete.

| Spot the real Mr Twit |
On World Book Day, every child in full-time education is given a voucher to be spent on books; the event was first celebrated in the UK in 1995.
Local primary school St Stephen's Head Teacher Michael Schumm got into the spirit, leading the dressing-up as a very plausible Mr Twit from Roald Dahl's classic children's tale "The Twits".
