I know this is not the sort of music that you would normally choose – but I thought you might enjoy a few minutes of ‘carnival’!
Having spent much of the bank holiday weekend trying to install my email addresses on my new phone (if anyone wants a tutorial on installing Mail emails onto an iPhone, just come my way…) I decided I needed a break. And what better than a visit to the Notting Hill Carnival to which I have not been for many, many years.
What a joyous experience. I don’t know whether things got a bit rougher at night but at 3pm on a Bank Holiday Monday afternoon everyone was just having fun in the sun. Yes, it was crowded and it was certainly noisy (you could feel the beat reverberate right up through your body) but wasn’t that the whole point! To give you a little sample…
And my wings and chips were piping hot and delicious…..
Meanwhile don’t forget…..
