Went to an ecological project yesterday as a thanks for the plethora of work i've got this year. It was great to be outdoors; filling barrows with compost, removing leaves from beds and sifting in the new compost..therapeutic, there were purple leaves, breathed in air in this urban oasis. A snap in the air keeps you honest. Had a lovely organic lunch, the sweetness of the carrots. Different backgrounds there made for a lovely energy.
From Finsbury Park to Old Spitalfields Market. Record labels and breweries in the house; it was reverberating, rocking and electric. Redefining the way we drink ale; dancing to beats, some of the Camra lot looked bemused..we were on a grass area inside. The friendliest brewery were Bermondsey's Fourpure; sparked off magic. Did some craft scene networking. It was a bit too busy for me; needed a rest after the hecticness. My friends' homemade ale is pretty good stuff.
Fri got off at Whitechapel and walked from there; it's not in zone 1.
