Family Holiday March 2017 - Camden Market 22.3.2017

The perfect weather from Tuesday didn't last but we had arranged to meet up with Jo and Penny at Camden Market so we hopped the train in East Grinstead and various tubes to arrive only about an hour late. Sorry Jo!  I've never been to Camden before and thought it would be mostly under cover.  Most of the stalls were in the sheds but most of the restaurants were on the outside. A bit short sighted in London I think.  What a great market though.

Jo, doing what she does best. 

Kate and Kean before they hit the shops. 

Spectacular shoes!

And the heavens opened! We had lunch at a local Costa, the first place we could find somewhere to sit down.  It was lunchtime and everyone had the same idea as us - get out of the rain.

I decided to leave Kate & Kean in London to do an Art Walk in East London and head back to the farm, so I was on the tube at Embankment when the shooting at Westminster took place.

As we all know, this kind of terrorist outrage shuts a city down so I was fortunate enough to catch a train home. Kate & Kean found a friendly pub, met up with Tessa and waited until the situation normalised. It gives you a good shake, this kind of event, even though you aren't directly involved. First thing you do is find out if your family are all okay, then the outrage happens - our city! our people! Even if you are just visiting - we are all affected. The worst of humanity brings out the best of humanity, so, no, the terrorists don't win.

Back to the calm and beauty of this farm.
