It isn't spring, but you can still find flowers lining the street along Columbia Road's Flower Market in December! Although it was located in the rather dodgy side of London, the bright weather definitely didn't make Pei Li and myself feel threatened at all. London's East End has this fabulously dirty feel to it that you either love or hate, with make shift tin shops, graffiti lined walls punctuated with wildly coloured mosaics. I half felt like I had stepped into another city (Berlin is that you?) and it's hard to believe I've been to London so many times and not checked out this side of it. The market itself was pretty crowded as it only opens on Sundays - people bustling about with their beautiful bouquets, and kitschy shops lined with the cutest fabrics, cooking tools and knick knacks. My biggest regret of the day was not buying the lovely bundle of dried lavender (£5.00!) but the fact was that it wasn't practical to fly them home to Singapore :'(
Anyway, this is my last post for London (finally)! I've hit the ground running ever since coming back for exchange with all the work and catching up I've had to do that I've hardly had time to feel sad that it's over, but don't worry, it'll hit me soon.
