Happy Birthday Big Green!

I popped into the Big Green Bookshop in Wood Green today to say Happy Birthday and managed to snap Simon and Tim about to share their birthday cake with a shop full of well-wishers.

I'm amazed at what the guys have pulled off. In what many might regard as quite flinty soil, the duo have built a crucial community hub - and they're even starting to make a little money. Bloody well done, I say; more power an' all that.

Simon demonstrates the magic spells he used to make the BGB such a rip-riproaring success. Tara Lee Platt of the Tottenham Choir and an assembled audience look on spellbound!
