Portobello Market



We had a lovely day out today - went up to Portobello Market and had a browse. Alex stayed home with Daddy and the girls and I went with Grandma. It was absolutely teeming with people - not suprisingly. We got there around 10 and by midday you could hardly move in places, but it was enjoyable. We poked through all the antiques - my mother likes antiques, not that she can afford London prices - and the new stuff and acquired a few miscellaneous bits and pieces, though nothing big. This is a pizza place with half a mini in their shop window - Olivia had a piece of pizza from there later in the day and it was very nice.



None of us is particularly interested in silver, but I like the way these pots were displayed... And here's my mom and Olivia wearing her new hat (a replacement for a somewhat similar (in style though not in colour) hat that unfortunately went missing, we think at Farnham Maltings Fabric Sale).

And a flower display I liked, and the wall under a bridge near the top end of the market - just a few bits and pieces, from our day out. I didn't take that many more photos - just too many people about to get any really good shots.
