I tip my hat to the person or people who are making the outside of the old Blue Mountain Cafe in Forest Hill a visual feast.

If you haven't seen it, then just opposite The Hob on the South Circular is the old Blue Mountain Cafe that has been boarded-up for a number of years. The wooden boards over the windows have had handwritten notes stuck on with glue or stapled. The views are largely judgements about the behaviour of our fellow human beings against Mother Earth. Demonising companies like Shell and BP for their profits. You know the drill.

It has more than a sniff of a rant board. Sometimes it drifts into an "O Tempora!" style of observation. And lately, the more important missives have been framed with wood. Nailed on, no less!

This is all an impressive undertaking. I admire the passion.

I've got a sneaky suspicion that someone from here may be responsible. Anyone like to confess?
