Marketing: Columbia Road Flowers and Brick Lane

twas a beautiful day in my neighbourhood
so I decided to get out of it.

to london i went
off at london bridge
up the northern line
off at old street
to hackney road
and onto columbia road

(note: in an effort
to be far more artistic
and less autobiographical,
I will present this blog
in a different fashion today.
you might not notice much of a difference,
but there are not many capital letters.
ah, artsy life)

throw backs to a life gone by

and finally, wrapping up Sunday

I'll tell you, I've had three lovely conversations today:
one butterfly-in-the stomach
one reassuring-that-it-will-all-work-out-just-fine
and one full-of-laughter

can a day get much better than this?

nope ;)
