| Epi-centre of plants and gardens in London, Columbia Market on a Sunday |
Columbia Market at midday on Sunday is a heaving heartland of beautiful plants and must-have garden paraphernalia.
Old boys and old girls from deepest Cockney-land are rhyming the plants' names and giving the best spiel to captivate the punters. Quite a few visitors and tourists are there for a pub lunch and a view. Rush-hour, certainly . . .
Lots of people like us with big empty bags hoping to get a few bargains before the traffic warden finds our car that may have over-stayed . . . too much to carry on a bicycle, we thought . . .
All too exciting and it is a relief to get way after the crush of getting from one end of Columbia Street to the other and back again, with un-squished blooming plants . . .
Home for lunch and then . . .
