I was in London at the weekend working for Son No 1 - and I am not really in my comfort zone doing shirt sleeves - but I was allowed a bit of time off for good behaviour and took Son No 1 to Columbia Road Flower Market.

I had forgotten how wonderful it is.  Get there early (Sunday mornings), grab a coffee, avoid the crowds and feast your eyes on the glorious colour.









And it's very convenient for the Olympics!
