yes i guess (id totally missed out on the whole reclaim the streets thing as im not from the uk :S)

there is an undeniable socio-environmental aspect to it as much as anything else.

email me if you can make the meeting

Sort of a reclaim the streets kind of thing? But mellower, and more arty? I’m on for that.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Camberwell’s entry in the ‘Unhip hotels’ feature in the Observer the other day.

Church St Hotel is no.1, and Camberwell gets described as ‘as close to badlands as London can muster’.

That’s not very nice.

The season for nasturtiums is long gone. Even taking into account normal body temperature. I HAD to belly guffaw at the seeded stool though, Quality.

I have been eating so many seeds recently that plants have been bursting up from my gut and out of my ears. I have to stem them constantly — people chase behind me picking up the bits I have chopped off, throwing them at me as I run, saying are these yours please? I say are you casting nasturtiums?

Interesting notes here. Our Community Council is generally a lot of talk, but it appears they are talking about:

1) an annual arts and crafts market using money from developers
2) commissioning public art
3) lobbying to ensure the soon vacated Southwark Town Hall will be used for arts

And a bit more. Course I read too Peckham gets the whole Council leadership, MP’s etc. to come out as they turn yet another community vision into redevelopment of Peckham Rye Station and surrounds. How is it they get community groups right and turn it into hundreds of millions in projects?
