A ride to the Eco Design Fair in Camden

Three of us set of at 10, from the Town Hall and picked up another as we went north to join the canal. The weather was a bit chilly initially but was sunny and soon warmed up. The canal path was smooth mostly so we zipped along. We took a tea/cake break at Little Venice where a canal boat serves snacks. It was very nice to be able to get into London hardly touching any roads. The Eco fair was quite varied - furniture, eco candles that use soy wax, jewelry, clothes, cushion covers, glass work objects.

I was inspired to take up knitting and bought some needles and a some organic naturally dyed wool ! There were lots of own stall businesses so it was interesting to talk to them before buying. Free copies of the Ecologist were also being given out together with a bottle of water in a bio degradable plastic bottle. There was even a Toyota Prius here advertising a car service for businesses. Some people were able to check out stalls quickly and then made own way back. After lunch and loaded with lots of web site details and a few Xmas presents the remainder of group set off for home. As the sun was still shinning, and as the trip in had been so quick, we decided to go back the same way. Everyone was back home before it got dark. Looking forward to next years visit already.
