I can't remember when I took these - a day or two before this year's Jester Festival - but the light was just enchanting...
And such a great piece of open space - increasingly tended and enhanced by the Friends of Fortune Green.
Before the much maligned Tesco in West End Lane opens I thought I'd just place on the public record some of the hoarding we have enjoyed over the weeks and months...There's no shortage of opportunity - let's see the reality of the words - straplines or beliefs?
For me the community is a crucial piece of philosophy - I believe that decisions are best taken at the lowest possible level to whom they affect, that activity and initiatives are instinctively best bottom up, that activism is a virtue...
We have a great team locally, they are committed, fun, vibrant and it's festivals such as this that help that notion grow and cement itself... 
It's always great fun and this year the West Hampstead Jester Festival was no exception.
So much, as with all street festivals is weather dependent and this year we got away with it - just. There was some drizzle but there was more sunshine.
Some of the groups who entertained the crowd:
Well done to one and all - a great team of local volunteers, hardy regulars and the strong network of local organisations. Special thanks to the West Hampstead Business Networkand Dutch and Dutch for their sponsorship and to all the other businesses that also gave their support in such a variety of ways...
