Balaclava Road in Penylan, Cardiff celebrated its latest Big Lunch with a great street party involving everyone in the road, from small children to the oldest resident in the street.
Organiser, Elizabeth Williams, commented that the annual get-together had created a strong community atmosphere, with everyone in Balaclava Road looking out for one another. She also said that the older residents in the road commented that a much more neighbourly spirit had sprung up since the street parties began, several years ago.
The Big Lunch is the brainchild of the Eden Project, supported by the Big Lottery, with the aim of breaking down social isolation and generating a community spirit.
It's certainly worked in Balaclava Road.
