ED in the snow

[TJ]

I have just got back home after an hour wandering round the shops trying to find some food.

While the shops were pretty much bare, the people of ED were in the best mood ever! I have never seen this area in such a happy, polite and generally good natured mood.

Good to see the pubs doing a roaring trade too!

I'm back off out for more of the same!

I know! i have spoken to more people today just wandering the streets and in the park than I have in 8 years of living here! It's brilliant

I posted this on another thread, but it's actually more appropriate here, so at the risk of repeating myself:

I had a great day! I walked all the way to work (Westminster) and back in my funky new wellie boots and saw many a heart warming sight on my travels - complete strangers actually stopping me in the street for a chat (I was initially suspicious they wanted to mug me for my wellies)and there were snowmen and igloos everywhere, winter wonderland!

It made me truly happy inside to see a young guy in Camberwell vault a fence to help out a little girl who was struggling to put the head back on her snowman - it had fallen off an she was too small to lift it as it was a truly mammoth snowman!

Loved the vibe on the street, all very convivial - just needed some one to start selling vin chaud and we'd be sorted!

there is a lesson here for all of us somewhere isn't there?

We don't need much to make us happy - a few smiles instead of negativity.. it can be that simple

all the pubs were rammed - I was in the Lord Palmerston- sorry Palmerston - the guy there said they normally do 15 covers on a Monday lunchtime - today they did 90 and stopped serving food - credit crunch in east dulwich??? perhaps it was people spending money from Icesave
