Alazne's birthday today and Mother's Day in the UK. We celebrated together by wandering around Petticoat Lane Market where Alazne found the exact same top we saw in TopShop yesterday for about half the price. Lots of bargains but nowhere to try on clothes so you have to be sure. Luggage, men's alligator shoes, baby gear, make-up, blankets, fur coats, summer tops, CDs, rows and rows and rows. It was so windy vendors were hanging onto their stalls so they wouldn't blow over! We made our way to Spitalfields Market in a red brick hall with lots more great fashion, jewellery and odds and sods for sale. Had a souvalaki lunch at The Real Greek and then made our way to The Old Truman Brewery Sunday (Up)Market with lots of great vintage clothes. Then we were off to Bayswater for a quick walk-around. Mental note to go back for more pictures at Kensington Gardens in about a week when the daffodils will be out. We ended by having a macchiato and boysenberry cheesecake (me) and chocolate milkshake and layer cake (A) just outside of Charing Cross Station. Quick call to Hong before boarding the 7:40 to Elmstead Woods.
