August bank holiday weekend came awfully quickly. Notting hill carnival to me , means the end of summer is looming ! Now its time to be cold, miserable and actually maybe think about doing some work.
This year there was a lot of spectacle, that carnival could get more out of hand than usual due to the horrible attacks London had faced in the upcoming weeks. Notting hill was was one of the areas badly affected and it was extraordinary, yet heartbreaking - walking around seeing , shops boarded up everywhere - even one of my favourite destinations The Bumpkin pub on Ladbroke Grove was boarded up.
Despite these attacks, carnival still went on and in my eyes it was even more spritely than ever. I spent the day dancing with my friends at Gaz's Bar. ( A well know reggae and ska club in soho, formerly known as the St Moritz club ) which had been bought to carnival in the form of a bus. Live music is my all time favourite and the musicians and atmosphere was amazing !
It shows that not even the looters could stop this event being as weird and wonderful as ever!
