Camden Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)
It's a 2 mile run tonight, folks!
We'll stay completely together, too!
What a gorgeous evening for a run, hey!
Isn't the last road a big hill?
Well...
It's called Haverstock Hill, right?
Ummm...
That sounds like a hill, Alex
Look! A bird!
Which was how our happy evening started.
Our wonderful group of Akshay, Faye, Jackie, John, Steve, and I met by an evening King's Cross, and we took a sun peppered run through Camden, past Chalk Farm, and over to Belsize Park.
Arriving at the special Belsize Community Library, we were met by the brilliant Emily, who'd cycled on down.
It's a special site, this community library, nestled by an allotment and within an innocuous North London street. It's become the de-facto meeting space for the local community, and we arrived to the evening's final readers and a local council residents surgery.
Fay and Jackie got to one task swiftly, heading out to paint one of the bike racks a fresh shade in weather resistant paint; whilst Akshay, Emily, John, and Steve took to the inside, picking strewn litter under the bay window seating, vacuuming the cleared area, and giving the top shelves a well needed dust :)
I, on the other hand, browsed the books. It was great. Consumed, I was! A little noise from some folks in red 'doing good', but all in all, the perfect reading environment!!
Thanks, everyone, for your time, work, and lovely company - here's to next time!!
