Shaun in the city

Everything is possible in London's Spring, even if the weather is a little bit cold. The stress, tourists and pedestrians have to share the city now with the sheeps that came back to the capital for graze. 

From the 28th of March until the 25th of May, London is being taken by 50 giant sculptures of Shaun the Sheep. The animated character, created by Nick Park, is the protagonist of the main public art trail, taking place this year, and all the statues are grazing in green parks and important landmarks. 

Unfortunately, he came alone and his friends Bitzer, the Flock, the Farmer, the Naughty Pigs, Pidsley and Timmy and his mother couldn't walk with him.

Chinese New Year

The 19th of February was the Chinese New Year celebration. This means that from now we are living in the Year of the Sheep. This animal is a symbol of peace, harmonious co-existence and tranquility and it is also the representation of the Arts.

The Chinese Zodiac says that babies born this year (or people who were born in 1967, 1979, 1991 or 2003) are clever, polite, kindhearted, wise and indecisive.

Outside Asia, London's Chinese New Year celebrations are the largest. Last week, as every year, thousands of curious joined London's Chinese communities on this festivity. On Sunday, all of them walked along Trafalgar Square and Chinatown, where the main festivities took place.
