We loved the Japanese festival at Spitalfields yesterday. Spitalfields has to be one of the best venues for these big celebrations. We heard the drummers onstage, I had some crab sushi and bought Martin's birthday presents from the wonderful Tea Smith http://www.teasmith.co.uk/ - some Oolong tea and biscuits.
We watched how a kimono is put together
One of the highlights was being served coffee by an ex-student, now working for a Young Offenders Team in Tower Hamlets, going into schools and working with teenagers at risk - such a tough job, which I know she will be brilliant at.
