Dear Friends

It looks like Christo, the outrageous internationally-acclaimed wrapper, has quietly entered the neighbourhood. He is known for wrapping things like the Pont Neuf in Paris and small islands in Biscayne Bay (Miami). We thought that his latest entertainment was the erection of hundreds of oversize flags in Central Park, New York. However, from your photographs, it appears that we are wrong. It is now clear that Willesden has been his latest project all along. Why has he kept this imaginative work of art quiet? Usually his efforts are accompanied with much bru-ha-ha. Thanks to the Willesden Herald for its vigilence in the world of news.
