A MOVEABLE FEAST IN THE PARK






It was a festival day at home  ...and a big day in the park. 

So let`s join them together and take the festival to the park and have a combined festival - park - big - day.


So thought mother of two, Sunjeela Zeba (right) who  lives in Blundell Road, Petteril Bank, Carlisle which is just  a stone’s throw away from Dale End Park where her children played. 

Sunjeela and her friends  prepared for the Muslim Eid  festival at home with lots of Bangladesh dishes which they had cooked.


Then they carried the dishes to the park where the big day was in full swing ...it was the opening of a  spanking-new park play area by Carlisle City Councillor Elsie Martlew. 

The picnic table in the new play area was brought into use and a table cloth carefully laid. Sunjeela served everyone the scruptious food she had prepared at home ...curry, rice, meat curry, sweet dishes and chicken  dishes...lovely...as this picture shows.

Sunjeela, who is 32, explained:”Dale End is a lovely park which my children enjoy every day. I thought it would be nice to share our Eid festival to show our appreciation of the park. I am pleased that everyone tucked in and enjoyed  the food”. 

Everyone certainly did enjoy  the food, said Jenny Cray of nearby Welsh Road who played a big part in sponsoring the new play area and organising  the park open day for the local community group, Carlisle South Community Association.

Jenny said.” This was lovely gesture by Sunjeela which everyone appreciated. Her feast of lovely food rounded off a perfect day”.
