Mar 2013 - my london diary

	Barnet Spring - Save Local Democracy Finchley Central - Friern Barnet, London. Sat 23 Mar 2013
	Unison and PCS placard and flag with the Capita coffin 'Keep Barnet Public' Snow had settled on the grass, roofs and cars in Finchley And had been falling fairly lightly all morning As the march reached North Finchley it came on rather harder and coming up to Tally Ho corner marchers were in a small blizzard which got worse as they march turned around to make its way towards Friern Barnet It was becoming difficult to take pictures, and I took a quick break before catching up with the march
	just as it reached Friern Barnet Community Library. They had hoped to have a rally on the grass but it was too cold; instead there were some speeches inside the community library and hot drinks and food were available, with live music coming shortly It was very crowded and my lenses kept steaming up. Then I began to feel faint and had to rush to the open air through the crowd. Outside I soon felt better, despite the cold, but decided it was time to go home.
