At the weekend the remarkable Steph Bradley dropped in on TTT as we checked out potential venues for our Unleashing in July.  Steph, pictured above with Malsara, David & Lucy, has spent the last seven weeks walking from Transition HQ in Totnes, in, you guessed it, a pair of flip-flops!  She intends to spend six months in total walking between as many of the country’s transition initiatives as possible, checking out all the fantastic work that is being done.  You can follow Steph’s blog here.  Her description of Tooting High Street really struck me:

“In its colourful High Road selling fruit and veg from all over the world and silks of every colour and decoration I hear every language from Greek, Polish, and all different Indian and Pakistani dialects. I haven’t had an experience like this since my time exploring the wonderful markets of Ceuta in northern Morocco in 1992.”

It’s funny, sometimes I forget that we live in quite an unusual and culturally diverse part of the UK and it’s quite uplifting to note the impression it can make on a visitor.  Good luck on your trip Steph.  DT
