Chariot Festival

Saturday afternoon saw a pair of local party events. First in my own patch – Strawberry Tea at beautiful home of Harold Margolis – and then off to to Tunbridge Wells local party as Guest of Honour at their Summer BBQ fundraiser. Sat Nav saved me!

The house in Paddock Wood was just beautiful: an old Oat House and Hop Press – now fantastic home with fantastic where there were table and chairs and lots of delicious food. And after food – came me! It was a lovely evening – and they seemed to be such an optimistic group – so I have good hopes for their future prospects.

Sunday morning saw me go to the amazing Chariot Festival outside the Murugan Temple in Highgate. I lived next to the Temple (Wembury Road) when it first rose out of the ashes of the old Highgate Synagogue on corner with Archway Road. I will be meeting the Chair and Trustees again to discuss all of the issues – but for today – just look at the photo. Such colour and such delightfully warm and friendly reception. Loved it!
