Balcombe Protest - Pictures









 The reality of that really only containing food products is quite unlikely...



Patty in the gray shirt in the front line.


Drilling lorry... Reflection... Copper...

Beautiful and so not. The white thing is the drill



Enjoying an incredible, healthy, colorful meal, and watching the protest of slowing down the lorries happen to understand how it works and how I can get involved without potentially getting arrested. 





Same plate on the front and the back - not something that is true to say about all the lorries, which is illegal and which I reported to the police (via phone knowing the cops present would most likely not act on my comment.)

We are filming them and they are filming us. Strange (heart breaking?) world.

Smile much??

Dan in the blue with the guitar as a personal car leaves the fracking site - plate documentation.



Kangaroo moon dancing. Jesse is on the bottom left. 
Dancing while being very aware of the fact that I could get arrested at any point - worth it, and good in the end. (I was handed a busc/know your rights card with the solicitors number on it, it stayed in my bra for a few days). 

The 110 foot long scroll: "List of the Harmed." 
I had a good cry in the meditation tent after rolling it up, connecting with the supporters of the scroll, reading name after name, knowing some of the people are from towns near where I grew up... It as a good experience and was certainly emotional for me as well as others. 

As I was sitting on the ground (as I so often have in the past few months) when Patty nudged me and silently told me to look at the cops. We were watching Drill Baby Drill right by the fence where the night shift cops stood. They were tentative to show interest at first but by the end every one of their eyes was on the screen. Education all the time! 

Candles aligned in a spiral inside the geodome made of sticks and tarps.

Serving lunch with Jo

Fran, Tinkerbell, Patty, and the lady bird apron wearing dish washer whose name I don't know (very friendly, kind, funny, and solid.) 





A common site over the past week.


Why they were going into the fracking site rather than fixing the destroyed road right in front of the entrance I do not know--

Doing nothing illegal but being involved. :)
