What's going on in the park?
Friday, 17 September 2010
I can't believe that summer is now coming to an end and autumn is upon us. Perhaps now time to upload all the images and tickets and re-live some of those glorious May days. Plus time must be set aside to return to the parks and explore the delights again.
Park Life trolley
Wednesday, 4 August 2010
The Park Life trolley is currently dismantled and part is being used for my herb pots. The main chassis is strangely bare and I am contemplating turning this into a mobile hedgerow. Any thoughts or suggestions are most encouraged.
Park Life tickets
Sunday, 27 June 2010
I am now back in circulation and beginning to scan the tickets in which is making me feel all nostalgic. The first randomly selected one appearing here now. I am keen for a visit to the park this week to see what has changed and hoping not to have missed the peonies in bloom
Missing Park Life
Tuesday, 15 June 2010
I have been away for a few days and I am keen to get back to the parks to see the changes that have taken place, catch up with my favourite places in the parks and contact the people I met there and at the Ejectorseat festival to explore future collaborations. I must also go to the Parkafe to see whether people have put any tickets in the box-or even to see whether it is still there.
Tuesday, 8 June 2010
Such a lot has been happening over the past few days. The Ejectorseat Festival on Saturday was a great event, successful in many ways. The weather was perfect, the music, creatives and workshops all came together to give us a day of pure magic.
Lots of people filled out the ParkLife tickets and came to play at the table where we had mousey mousey ( a real crowd puller) tiddleywinks and beetle to put us back in touch with our love (or hate) of childhood games and competive nature.
Photos and more of everything to follow.
