The Camberwell Rainbow first came into conception during the lock down. Spending time outside in the back garden and out on my street. Trying to make the most of sunshine. I had just stopped working to isolate and had been using my hourly walk to go to Peckham Rye and back. During my walks I noticed the wonderful rainbows in the windows that the children had been drawing. I thought it was such a great way to show love for the NHS and spread joy to people walking by. During lockdown my dad had gone in the hospital due to his lung condition IPF ( idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ) which he’s had for the last 4 years. The NHS have done such a great job for him over that time. So, I decided as a small thanks to the NHS, key workers and to everyone doing their part in this tough time I would draw the Large Rainbow on the side of my house ( big thanks to terry and lynne for allowing it to happen ) and bring a little joy, like the children.
