Portobello Market, Nottinghill.

Photobucket 
We spent the whole of Saturday in Nottinghill at the Portabello Road Market scouring through vintage treasures and interesting little road-side stalls. The weather was great, the food was great, the shopping was great and the company was great.

Awesome old vellum paper documents. Definitely keen to get my paws on some of those for some crafty projects.

5 reasons for drinking
If all be true that I do think,
there are five reasons we should drink:
Good wine - A friend - Or being Dry - 
Or Lest we should be by and by - 
Or any other reason why.

The food. Don't get me started on the food -

Ok - which shop IS that? Need to visit somewhere that smells "divine". The ballooning plaque from the Lake District is superb...oh to have a shome where these little bits could be displayed. Lovely day you had!

Next time you go chat to the Paella man - he is really cool. My aunt met him in Vietnam. He had his stand just on the side, but also had a regular day job. Eventually he realized he can make more money just selling Paella, which he now does. And for the rest he travels around the world sourcing the ingredients!
