Today, after staying mostly inside all week, our family spent a lovely day at Camden Market.
I had planned on taking lots of pictures–there were many fascinating subjects to be photographed. However, I ended up carrying my coat the majority of the day, as the weather was beautiful, but warmer than I had dressed for. I have all the pictures I wanted to take clearly stamped in my memory though, so hopefully next time I’ll be able to go back and capture a few of them. 🙂
I think you can find just about any type of person at the Camden Market. From men with purple Mohawks and pants dripping in chains, to sweet Chinese women serving up large servings of rice noodles and chicken. (Which I must say, was quite excellent.) I was laughing at the Tex-Mex stand (it did literally say that) right by the Chinese food. And then you had Italian food, and Japanese food, and German food, and–well, you get the point.
For any of those who will be visiting us, or visiting London in general, the Camden Market is a must! I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it. There is so much to look at, and so much to browse through (and possibly purchase). There are more clothing shops than one can possibly even glance at in one day (including one called the Punky Fish… haha, I got a kick out of that), and then bunches of old antiques waiting to be rediscovered. 🙂 Haha, I sound like I’m advertising, but it really was wonderful.
And as far as purchases go, I bought a beautiful leather journal… It has 240 pages, which I think will be quite perfect for journaling whilst in London. I’ve titled it, “Living in London”, and I can hardly wait to start filling it’s pages. (And Nana, if you happen to read it, all of the journals didn’t have lines!)
I could go on, but I think you’ll just have to come see it for yourself!
Happy second day of the year! 🙂

By the way, part of Camden Market, is Camden Horse Market. Not that there are really horses–besides the one that Jefferson stuck his head into anyway. 😉
