Out and about in London

Foxy Knocker

Happy Bank Holiday, London birdies! Couldn't resist taking a pic of this rather handsome fellow on the door next to Ryantown on Columbia Road last week. You can also see that I've recently taken to photographing piles of shop bags (see pic below). However, you should note that these are extra-special shop bags, hand-screen printed by Rob Ryan and featuring a cute wee birdy stamp in the corner. Swoon!

Something for the weekend

I spotted this incredible bow-encrusted Jigsaw store on Westbourne Grove a couple of weeks ago. The store was literally in full Spring bloom. Cool, huh?

It’s snowing petals

More evidence that London's in full spring bloom right now. I took these pics (above) in Greenwich on the weekend – but my street is also awash with pink (see below). I love getting showered with pink petal confetti every time a breeze picks ups. Really enjoying it while it lasts.

Wild buttercups in Greenwich

What a difference a couple of months make. The last time I walked across this field in Greenwich it was covered in the deepest snow London had seen in almost 20 years. On Saturday I discovered a sea of yellow wild buttercups. So very pretty. Gorgeous spring weather, too!
