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.
