Darren and the Yummy Mummies (and Daddies)

My friend Darren; has become the darling of the yummy mummies and daddies of Brentford. He has also unified two more or less discrete clans of friends in the area. How has he done this? .
Starting at the beginning- I have known Darren for a very long time, since back in the psychedelic 80s of the Chiswick Village era. He went out with Ali-la Peche, and they had a baby together and even after all the ups and downs, everybody is still friends.

When we moved from Chiswick Village down to Airedale Avenue, Darren joined us as our lodger and we got to know him much better

Darren is a very interesting, intelligent and capable person; he learned to ride at reform school, he learned carpentry and cabinet making as a teenager, and is generally very artistic. He got a degree in electronics and knows about plumbing! A true polymath and all round renaissance man. So when we moved into our little house, our tiny house with all our boxes full of clutter, of course we asked him- if this was your house, and your clutter, how would you arrange things. So he spent several months working in each room in turn, to create storage masterpieces; our downstairs toilet is truly delightful! Over time, my other friends in Brentford, the Green Dragon Group came over and admired Darren's work, and began to ask for Darren's number; Darren's network of admirers grew and he is never out of work. He has also become a great friend to one and all; you don't get just a brilliant design, but insight and entertainment too. The Green Dragon Group and The Chiswick Village Collective are now all at each other's parties, and now, joy of joy for many, Darren is now moving to the heartland of Brentford. Funnily enough, he is moving away from tap dance land, Pitshanger Lane, which he also was able to appreciate the charms of!
His many fans will be able to bang on his door and plead to be next in line for Darren designs, and the love will flow.
