The Tottenham carnival has taken part on Sunday and the road from the Arcadian Flat to the Bruce Grove Castle has been full of vibriant animals dancing african music! Tottenham area has an afro/caribbean community, basically, which, hidden from the busy lifestile, shows his energy in this funny carnival (finally!)! Perhaps there's something difficult to develop sometimes inside a community and all the entrance were attended by the police checking for knife and guns! Inside the park "Stop the war" and a local group were distribuiting flyers about stopping the gun crimes in Haringey Council. On Saturday a girl has been shoot at the Swan pub in the middle of a fight and on Sunday the road has been barred due to some kids fighting in Mc Donald. From the New Bronx yours correspondent...with peace!
Under Construction? After some hibernations the time to go into the green again is came! We were in Kew Gardens some days ago to have a nice tour around the vegetation...indeed it is what London is missing (despite of Ken Livingstone's policyes!). Unfortunatelly the biggest flower of the world (Titan Arum in the photo!) was already flowered so we did not assist to his high bloomy, but we found the ancient pine of the world descovered just ten years ago and known only as fossil (the Wollemi Pine!).
