Camden Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)
Camden is a wonderful place where odd things usually happen.
This is why Camden residents rarely look twice.
Some tourists aren't like this and regularly look twice. This has resulted in many Camden tourists leaving the borough with neck aches, cramps, and twists.
They realised too late that oddities are normal in Camden, and that looking twice really isn't polite.
However I do wonder whether our wonderful group took second glances as we made our way through sunny and busy King's Cross.
Thirteen of us - Alison, Auriela, Charlie, Danya, Gosia, Helen, Imogen (on their first good deed - welcome!!), Jackie, John, Michael, Siobhan, and Steve - met at the (remarkably special) Story Garden.
Carley, our brilliant host, was waiting for us with a caravan of wheelbarrows and trolleys, each piled with tools, bags, and high-vis jackets.
This was the moment when our team of red t-shirts trundled everything over to the other side of Coal Drops Yard.
Our destination was the Story Garden's new (and gorgeous and permanent!!) community site on York Way. It's called The Triangle because it's shaped like a triangle, and it's mid-way through being built and transformed.
We were there to rescue and prepare a mound of earth that will soon be sewn with bee-loving flowers.
And yesterday - rescuing and preparing meant collecting, snapping, and bagging the thousands of weed sticks that covered the mound - the group's laughter and wood-snapping sounded like a happy family sat around a bristling bonfire :)
Many industrial bags filled and with the twilight fading, we made our return journey through the evening city - and I think the addition of huge bags of sticks made even Camden regulars take a second look...
...thank you for a wonderful evening, everyone! Your work made a big difference!!
