Selvedge, public knitting

Sweet story about knitting on public transportation in London. I'm afraid they don't ever put their articles online, so I can't link to it....

Columbia Flower Market

One thing I did not get to take pictures of in London that I really enjoyed was a visit to Columbia Road Flower Market. My friend that we stayed with lives right down the street, and, as we only had a short day on Sunday due to our flight home, we decided to stay close to our luggage before we had to head to Heathrow. I'm so glad we did because not only did we have a yummy breakfast at Jones Dairy, but we also picked up a beautiful bouquet for our hostess.

Gosh, the more I describe the trip the more I lament my lack of photographic evidence! The pics above I swiped form the Columbia Road Flower Market website, but you can also see a much better post about a trip to the flower market from This is Naive.

London pics...as my camera dies!

You can watch it get worse:


All's well in the food halls at Harrods....


My shoes at the edge of "Shibboleth" at the Turbine Gallery (too lazy to link at the end of the day on a Friday....you saw them all before the other day anyway)


As I get closer to the crack the camera shrieks in purple


The purple haze takes over in the last picture that doens't look like snow!

Believe it or not we also spent time roaming around Hyde Park in the mist, visiting my friend who works in vintage in Notting Hill (ha, in vintage), and walking up Upper St as we used to when we had little ££ & lots of time. We didn't make it to many favourite old spots (Primrose HIll, Chalk Farm, Camden, Shepards Bush (oh how I would have loved to spend some time thrifting if the $$ wasn't so crap!), but it was a short trip so it didn't sting too bad. And now I need to buy a new camera so it's probablt for the best.
