We all agree - Enfield is Magic!

Working at a recent wedding, I met up once again with local close up magician Kevin Flannery.  

I was amazed at his slight of hand & theatrical skills - and smiled at the way that he single-handedly entertained a large group of wedding guests in that often difficult period between the ceremony and the meal.

As the guests sat down to eat, drink and be merry, I chatted to Kevin about the idea behind the WeLoveEnfield Photo Blog, and suggested that as he fitted the bill as one of the more interesting and unusual characters in the borough, I might take a photograph of him and feature it here:



As you can see, Kevin graciously accepted!

If you know of anything interesting, unusual or just plain great going on within the London Borough of Enfield, or just someone who's doing/done something amazing, then why not get them featured on this blog.   It exists to celebrate and bring wider notice the great things going on around us, giving us all more and more reasons to shout "We Love Enfield".

Bush Hill Park goes Jubilee Crazy

How wonderful it was to see the whole community coming together (and the weather just about holding fine!) for one amazing street party in the appropriately regally named Queen Anne's Place in Bush Hill Park this afternoon.

The entire afternoon was aimed at raising money for the excellent Great Ormond Street Hospital, and judging by the numbers attending they should be receiving a worthwhile contribution once all the pennies are counted.

Individuals and businesses worked side by side to create a truly memorable atmosphere for the scores of families who attended, and if my experience of the '77 Silver Jubilee is anything to go by then these are memories that they will carry forward for the rest of their lives.

Trying to name everyone who put considerable time and effort into creating such a great event is an envidious task, and I'll no doubt forget many, but big congratulations to Natalie Vassilou, Denni King, Bush Hill Park Nursery, Rebeccas Cakes, Signature Sounds, Enfield Fire Brigade and everyone else.   You should all be proud.

Here are a few images I captured as I wandered around the party earlier today:
