Brick Lane is a famous street in the East End of London. If you’re a fan of graffiti and street art, then you’re in the right place – Brick Lane is famous for it. It has a large population of Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi immigrants and if you’re after a good curry this is the neighbourhood to travel to.

We’re coming up to our 49th wedding anniversary and I still get a thrill of going out on dates and travelling with Kevin.

In London you can’t help but see the Thames if you travel south to the downtown area and if you’re crossing a bridge it is more than likely across the Thames.



…art made with textiles has the most amazing textures
On our recent trip to London, we stopped at the Barbican to see the show, Unravel: The Power of Politics of Textiles in Art. The first thing we saw was the exterior of the gallery cloaked in fabric.


Inside the gallery over 100 artists had works of textile art on display. Many of the pieces were very textural which was quite evident from a distance and others made for wonderful close-up shots of the detail in the pieces.

As you know I post photos of flowers every day so I chose to show you the flowers that I saw everyday from our bedroom patio doors of the garden flat that we rented in Stoke Newington on our very recent trip to London, England.

Ever since I started teaching the unit on Bridges from the grade 5 curriculum I’ve been somewhat obsessed with them. I love bridges but I wish I had more photos. The following bridges are from Venice, Florence, Loire Valley in France, London over the Thames, from Ontario, P.E.I., New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
