...we were walking down "Columbia Road flower market"
as well as loads of gorgeous bunches of flowers there were christmas trees of all shapes sizes and varieties, big bunches of holly, wreaths and hand made swags
I got some hyacinth bulbs and a big bunch flowers then we went for a cuppa,
there was a lovely old fashioned bakers shop on the corner and the back yard was a cafe
this is where we sat with our tea and donuts, a lovely little place with a big burner in the corner and a pile of books to read.
The sweet shop was called "suck and chew" it was filled with all the old fashioned sweets and loads of vintage tins filed with toffee's
these chaps are keeping everyone in order, "woof, woof!"

Round the corner there was a market I got two lovely big "sundae" glasses to pot my hyacinths in and I'm sure I saw "wee willie winkie" choosing a candle holder!!
What a little gem of a place to spend a Sunday morning, especially at this time of year,
we also went ice skating in Hyde park's "Winter Wonderland" but that's another story....

Thank you for stopping by...so pleased I found Bourton, had never been there before until I read an article in Country Homes and Interiors.
oohhh what a gorgeous post ;-) That looks like a great shop and im loving that kitchen with the red formica kitchen table. Have a lovely week, dee x
Brilliant photos!
I am giggling about your ice-skating trip - my husband is TERRIFIED of ice-skating which always makes me laugh because he is a big strong bloke, but is scared of falling over :-)
I pester him every year to come skating but he will not relent.
Would love to see any pictures!
we have no where that sells the holly and swags but plenty of places selling trees here in norfolk. My holly tree has bore its first red berries!!!!
