One of the people where I live decided to organise a street party, taking advantage of the national Big Lunch event being organised for 18jul2010, and have the neighbours round to share drinks and have a chat.
Overall, for a 1st gathering of this nature, it went well - lots of people,, lots of talking, lots of food.
I did my usual of hovering at the fringes and taking photos, and everyone rated the day as a good one, and definitely something to be repeated.
Until next time,
Peter
