Love the Lea festival!
What a lovely day it became even though it started off with som heavy showers of rain.
The water body booth was well visited and the rivercities performance a magic ending to a festival that brought together both people and the thoughts how to make a more sustainable ecosystem with the river Lea in focus.
Thank you who showed up and made it a beautiful community event!
See you soon.
" I prefer living alone. Living on this boat is quiet and intimate and when I step out I am suddenly out on the street. I have lived in a boat for three years.
Me and my friend swim in this river."
Camillo & Pablo
" My friend lives close to here so I ride my bike to her along the river because it is calmer. This place also reminds me of my hometown Milan. It feels like home! "
Chiara
" We are working next to the river. We saw rats swimming in there in this morning. It is horrible, so we do our best not to fall in there.
Yesterday we spotted a boat sinking.
Our job is to put spikes on the bridge for stopping people from make graffiti ."
John & Peter
" I learned how to swim in the river Lea. It was very badly polluted back in these days.
What doesn't kill you make you stronger they say!
A year ago I stopped drinking the tap-water here though. It made me really sick in combination with my medication. I used to puke a lot from it. Nobody drinks the water from around here, the pipes most be over 100 years old at least.
I don't go out much but I have my garden here that needs the water, and my African cats. Today is a good day, I am not feeling sick.

“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.” ― Norman Maclean, A River Runs Through It and Other Stories
I didn't know we drink the water from this river. It is clean?
