So just sitting here listening to some great music a la Morricone, from the soundtrack to the Italian show/film Danger Diabolik which was kindly sent to me by a friend, when all hell kicks off in the neighbourhood, fire bombs and a large group of guys brandishing sticks and shouting at one another, along with smashing everything in their way!
As much as I know I am living in the ghetto it feels all too much like there needs to be a little more cohesion in these parts.....
with the whirring of police helicopters in the sky, I could almost picture myself in downtown LA and not Bow East London!
I love my neighbourhood and love my home even though it is often feels a bit edgy its part of the attraction and fuels the creativity although at times I crave the peace and quiet of rolling green hills and possibly the sea. And at times I think it may be time to quit the city to find pastures new, peace and quiet....
But as I watch the smoke disappear into the night sky and view the flashing lights of an ambulance, fire brigade and police cars from my window, I do wonder would I really want to trade this in for something a little quieter??
