Make Poverty History
Tuesday, July 5th, 2005Bec and I were joined on the morning of Saturday July 2nd by a couple of our best friends, Trickey and Sarah, who had journeyed across from Glasgow to take part in the Make Poverty History march. We wandered from our house on the North of the city to The Meadows on the South of the city; the park area that would host the march. As we ambled through the city itself around 10am, an eeriness drifted down the near-empty streets, the city seemingly holding its breath before what would turn out to be the biggest demonstration in Scottish history.
