The latest challenge on the
SAG blog has been set by by my pal
Amy. She wants to know if you record current affairs/happenings in your albums. I admit that this isn't something I do much of, but I did record the
Royal Wedding earlier this year and also when
Barack Obama became the 44th President of the United States.
Unusually, I've left the name of my suburb visible ~ Ealing. The journaling is a rehash of this blog
post. The building that is on fire was a convenience store with flats above. We know the lady who owns the store ~ she is very lovely and always so kind to DS. It makes me so angry that this has happened, both to her and our community.
But just like Londoners did in the Blitz, we've picked ourselves up and carried on. A metaphorical two fingers up to those who committed these hideous acts of violence.
Do your worst.
The wonderful, multi-cultural, beautiful city that is London is still here.
We are still here.
We are Londoners.

Great LO. The red background makes it seem quite menacing somehow which is exactly what the riots were. Hope Ealing is back to normal now.

This is a wonderful layout. It's a powerful page!
Ruth, you are the embodiment of the British spirit. Lovely page too.
Really strong visually and important to mark. I'm hoping all is calm now ...
I agree its important to document all aspects of life. Thanks for joining in xx
