Notting Hill and a classic anedote
Not just a great film……. which Mr Gascoyne and I quote lines from all the time.
These are just a few of our favourites quotes:
” I enjoyed the movie very much. I was just wondering, did you ever consider having more horses in it?”
“Well, we would have liked to. But it was difficult, obviously, being set in outer space”
“Yes – happiness isn’t happiness without a violin-playing goat”
“Whoopsidaisies!”
“Can you adios those dishes and take out that trash?”
“Right. It’s not a classic anecdotes, is it?”
“Not a classic, no”
“Well, you tell me which bit you liked most.. and I’ll tell you if I enjoyed making it”
It’s a lovely (if expensive) bit of London, its houses painted in sugary sweet, pastel colours and Portobello Road famous for its antique shops and market.

Brick Lane is just Hunky Dory
London’s Brick Lane not just about amazing restaurants and bars, it is a perfect place to wander about taking photographs and browsing in the vintage shops and market.
Brick Lane in London’s East End has lots of graffiti covered buildings.
I loved this door, with the stickers and weathered paintwork framing the urban artwork. 
The shed like building in the photograph below, is an interesting vintage shop selling all sorts of retro bits and pieces. 
The vintage market is full of great vintage inspiration.

London’s Southbank
The 1950’s interior of the Festival Hall sets the scene for this retro style photographic print of two people deep in thought while admiring the view of London’s Southbank Centre.
The Royal Festival Hall, built in 1951 for the Festival of Britain still remains one of my favourite buildings in London. 
The outside of the Southbank Centre, becomes a concrete canvas for some amazing street art.

Columbia Road Flower Market
Columbia Road Flower Market is a great way to spend a Sunday morning. Endless photo taking opportunities, plus so many wonderful plants and flowers to buy. Full of characters and bags of charm, the shops and market are buzzing with atmosphere.

Lest we forget – Remembrance Poppies at the Tower of London
I made a early morning trip into London a couple of weeks ago to see for myself the magnificent and moving display of poppies for the centenary of the start of WWI . I was really lucky to go before the crowds, it was quiet then with only a handful of likeminded photographers up early to get the best shot. It was breathtaking and truly moving.
We must never forget.
