Too much to do, not enough time

September 19, 2009 By: fotdmike Category: General

My, what a busy month this has been. So far at least.

Kicks off with an eight-day stay at the English Climate Camp, this year at Blackheath, London. Took loads of pics.

Back home for a few days, then off down to London again for the Disarm DSEi anti-arms trade protests. Loads more pics.

And all those pics had to be sorted through, selections made, then uploaded to wherever. With the constant thought in the back of my mind that (if I were to adhere to my previously-established practise), some sort of write-ups would need to be done.

Well, finally, just over two weeks after Climate Camp packed up and went home, I’ve managed to pen my impressions of the week.

Now on TawNews in four parts: Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV.
