It was a lovely afternoon to be walking down Blackstock Road. Spring definitely in the air and at last a really good result at the Emirates. Wonderful how many small children there are with shiny red and white scarves. A reminder of days past in the 'Family Enclosure' at the old Highbury Stadium. My own youngsters earned their pocket money for a month picking up the coins that irate Millwall supporters were hurtling towards the North Bank.
And a lovely afternoon to be round and about. So many residents planting flowers, sprucing up window boxes, tackling overgrown foliage. Yet also, dishearteningly, the equally evident signs of "public squalor": boarded-up windows, piles of garbage, dangerous pavements, overflowing recycling bins. Local people don't deserve this. It's time to get to work!
