Yesterday was fun, I went up to the big smoke. I went to Columbia Road flower market, Spittlefields and Brick Lane. It was amazing. Amazing because of the architecture. There were beautiful Georgian houses in various states of undress. Some were so shabby the rooftops had caved in and others stood in perfect condition. It took my breath away, they've been standing for well over a hundred years and look like they have no intention of going anywhere. There's so much history in every nook and cranny, every brick and window. Jack the Ripper used to knock about in the area and I felt like was on a film set for the best part of an afternoon. Looming in the skyline was the Gherkin building and it made for quite a juxtaposition. It pleased me. I plan to go again.

You have comments! Hooray!
Yes, I have had them before but you see the thing is because I put my blog within an iframe the style didn't always agree with things but I cut and pasted some stuff and it seems to work ok.
I'm a bit slack with the website these days too, not like the old days when I'd be tweaking about at all hours. Thanks for the link by the way, I'll get around to putting links back on mine soon. Who are ya anyway?
