One billion and rising publishes my poster

Today I am drawn towards this article on the one billion and rising website.

Check out the amazing plans to RISE in Norwich!
They have a junior school steel band accompanying accompanying everyone’s drumming. The drum beat is from an Australian musician that spells out ENOUGH in morse code! The MP will be there to support and the council has printed 300 posters of well known international artist Eloise’s painting featured above to publicise the event.  The local domestic violence charity will be there and the local papers have assigned a dedicated reporter to cover lead up events and on the 14th.  For continued updates and coverage visit their One Billion Rising Blog HERE.  The organisers have been on the community radio station and got them to play the new Germany OBR anthem/song! Other program items include dancing to Break the Chain, Zumba, Hip-Hop, Belly dancing and freestyle dance!
RISE  RELEASE  DANCE!

Drum for Justice Practice at Angel Road Junior school

Projected words written up by the teacher to help the children learn the drum music.

Sue is brilliant at teaching, each child is playing a different steel pan drum with notes written on the inside of the drums.

The class is mostly girls but there is boys too. 

Tracey Taylor from DGAS drum group came along and showed the children how to do the Drum for Justice theme tune.

Each drum is made from an oil drum and cut in half then the top bottom of the barrel is beaten with a hammer for days till its quite thin. Then its tuned with different notes.

The teddy on the right helps make the music.

Here is a steal pan with the different notes labelled on it.

14th February 2014 at 1pm to 2pm at The Forum in Norwich come along and join us drumming the secret drum and dancing to Break the Chain.

Wild Winter Sunset fog at the allotment

I have now lost track of the times I been up the allotment to dig it over. 

So close to finishing yet I think it will have to be done again deep because of the vine weeds 

The sunset over Marston Marsh

Robert with his compost bucket in the front of his bike

Sun setting behind me on the marsh

Rolling fog moving along like a damp monster

More views of the fog monster being eaten by the sun set

Cycling away from the nature views towards the city.

Sunset burning lanes
