Texture Tuesday – Handmade Flowers With Texture

from the Camden Market

From a distance I was drawn to this stall because of the colours. What a surprise when I got closer to discover that these flowers were crocheted.

Monday Murals – Street Art in Hackney Wick, East London

on our way to see where our son, Brendan, works

Our son works at the V&A in London but he recently was given the job of overseeing the construction of the new warehouse and facility in East London. We weren’t allowed inside but we did see the outside and we passed numerous works of street art and the London Olympic site.

After lunch we made our way to the new facility but it was very hot that day and I slowly followed our tour guide. I was happy to get into air-conditioned buildings along the way.
