There is a school in Plumstead with the drama profile, which has been co-operating with PIP since October. Their students are great, they do their diploma with PIP as a client, and we really learn from them. They have some surprising ideas on how to get through to people, which we need, they wrote press release and produced posters. Some of them ( Read more... )

It is so difficult to put all strings together to have any community event. The last event we did as a group was a screening of Jill Daniel's film, Small Town Girls, in St Patrick School at the beginning of December. The weather was horrific and not many people decided to come, but all together the atmosphere was good and people admitted they want ( Read more... )

Plumstead Integration Project has decided that we would have a proper film festival! We have a proper committee now and we have announced the title: At the Edge of the City. We will have launch on the 20th November, and the Festival itself in the Spring next year. There will be lots of work, but I am very excited. Hopefully it will attract some ( Read more... )

I haven't posted for a longer time. This was due to bereavement I have been going through. I lost my mother in May and this has changed everything. I still cannot come to terms with it and everything is more difficult than usual, but I would like to to say here that she really liked Plumstead and I feel I should say something about it. When she ( Read more... )

Yesterday we ordered fish and rice from Sweet Mother in the high Street. I love Nigerian fish and meat as well. The rice was very spicy, but we were warned and the fish was great, I even got a piece of meat which I didn't ask for...in the same box. Not the best option if I were a vegetarian. Can Plumstead be a place to go out? Whenever I say it ( Read more... )

I was in Herne Bay in the morning today, a nice quiet day with some warm breeze from the sea. I know this place from knowing Margate and Ramsgate...although I was there first time. Somehow it is very similar, and it is not only about the stony beach and the sea front with small cafes and ice cream sheds, it is more about the emptiness and the lack ( Read more... )

So there is a proper restaurant finally in the High Street. It looks impressive and it is huge. The days when we didn't have any place to sit and eat in a date manner are over. In fact, you can have a whole wedding party there, in fact, this is how the design looks to me, it is a restaurant planned to be a bug business gathering lots of people per ( Read more... )

I have attended the meeting for Plumstead Gardens lovers and users. It was run by the manager from the Council.
www.greenwich.gov.uk/Greenwich/YourEnvironment/GreenSpace/ParksGardens/Plumstead/ There were a few people who are really committed to the renovations of that garden, but on one knows how to do it. There is no money and no infrastructure ( Read more... )

It is a pity that Kemka had to close her nice boutique. It was only open for a few months, I loved her design and her ideas. The fasion show went well and all children and parents seemed to enjoy it during the May Festival. But it did not help much....It is not a surprise that now there is a barber shop opened in the same place. I haven't heard ( Read more... )
