My sister Anika’s husband Neil sits on the roof of his and Anika’s apartment in Richmond Park.
Anika and Neil now live in my mother’s old house, which is where I grew up as a kid. Their roof pictured here is a place of relaxation and refuge from the heat on the lower floors. Sometimes, in summer they and their neighbours will stay out here until the temperature cools down around midnight.
As well as floods, Richmond Park struggles with heat and hot air in summer. Back in the day, the heat was not the major challenge it is now, but these days, it is so bad that the fan in Neil and Anika's house is blowing out hot air, and inside has become suffocating.
