I was just trying to get some breakfast when I was accosted by some very large creatures. Taken in July 2009, near Gillett Square, Dalston.
Everyone in Dalston is Weird.

Bearded man outside AK Butchers, pretending to be blind. Wearing dark glasses and carrying a white cane, when he realised I’d noticed he was staring at women’s bottoms over the top of his shades, he winked at me.
Large, disgruntled-seeming lady weaving through the crowd outside Dalston Kingsland station, pushing a yam in a pram.

Dalston has been rather quiet on the weird front, lately. However, this afternoon, two of our delightful and somewhat overdressed residents more than made up for the lull in entertaining and baffling behaviour by following me around the aisles in the convenience store on the Dalston Junction end of Balls Pond Road, singing in harmony about the Lord.
“…And on the sixth day, God opened an Afro hair salon on Ridley Road in Dalston.”
