A trip to Portobello market



Beautiful Soph







In the worst cafe in England, "Uncles" on Portobello Road


Claude and her new coat!
Today has been a rather eventful day to say the least, a lovely trip to the antique market turning into an incredible and surprising goldmine of knitwear at the cheap end of the road. Things then took a turn for the worse, when we stepped foot into the chaos that is "Uncles" cafe. We weren't served for 20 minutes, our food then took another half an hour to arrive (sandwiches) which was ok as it was busy, then the wrong food arrived, we had to get our own cutlery, still missing some of the food. My friend sophie (third photo down) then found a piece of smashed plate in her chicken, YUM! so we promptly complained, and were very rude to. Hilarious. I then bought a wonderful 70s wide rimmed blue hat with corsage, to lose it to a gust of wind on the underground 2 hours later. Then a wonderful cuppa with my gorgeous cousin Evie, (also an incredible model!) and then dinner with her family at a very lovely resturaunt/wine bar called Shampers off Oxford Street. Highly reccomended, wonderful service, and great food! All in all a hectic but mostly nice day :) now i just need to go buy another great hat....

I WILL start posting my own pictures on here soon, just need to wait until i am back at Uni in London where my crappy digital camera waits for me... lusting after a diana F+ or a way of finding out how to work and develop my mums Miranda from the 80s... hmmm.
Its 4 o clock and dark. I hate northern weather although its good to be back in the rolling hills and dramatic scenery. Makes it much nicer to come home to after a long walk and get cosy in front of the fire :)
happy days x x x
