Columbia Road

I was in London to meet friends from Spain,
it was three years since we last saw each other, lots to catch up.
We went to East London, had a lovely time away from the high
street chaos, browsing lovely shops. Had the best Italian food
n a little deli and a coffee break in a truly vintage tea room placed
in the back of a vintage shop and family run, it was almost like being in their home.
One of  my favourite part of London, with independent shops, cafes, flower market.

Mimii, you can write in french if you prefer, I do understand it (or at least I think so :^)) but my written french is a disaster! merci.
Thank you all, your words make me happy!

I love that handsome fox door knocker. I have seen one on a green door on my walks locally and I wish said fox would follow me home and guard my door.
