I have had an amazing weekend at Cybermummy11. A post about it will follow but I wanted to share some photos from a lovely hot sunny morning today spent at the Columbia Road flower market in London’s East End, with fellow bloggers Super Amazing Mum, Scottish Mum and All About The Boys. We stopped for a cup of tea and a natter after marvelling at the flowers, the noise, the coloured shop fronts…and the prices.

I’ll let the photos do the talking.

What a place! The perfect way to end a lovely weekend.

  3. I would have loved to go! Ended up boiling to death in Kensington Gardens and missing my sister after going on eleven billion packed tubes. Not the best hangover cure in the world. Ugh. xxx
