this is my first year living in oxford and the carnival is for me what oxford is about, loads of people, music, colour, fun, food- its great

cowley road is such a multicultural place, going down the road and listening to all the different languages and accents is great.

for me the best thing are all the tasty smaosas and other indian treats you can get

menzil gardens was a perfect place to sit in the sun, have a few beers, watch the music and sit with a few friends.
this is only the 3rd year of the carnival, long may it continue.
oxford really is a strange place, central and east seem like 2 different towns, or worlds?

anyway i hope you all enjoyed it too

i love that rinky dink, solar, wind and bike powered music machine, the kids powering it seemed to be loving it.
it would be great if all the schools and community groups that took part, gave us feedback on how they thought the day went, what was the highlight, how could it be improved?

looking foreward to nextyears already
