Saturdays are so lovely in London, especially when blue skies hang above, temperatures are mild and Portabello Road is in full swing. With a week of work behind us, several of us gals tubed our way over to Notting Hill for a great brunch at Electric Brasserie, and some very expensive shopping.
I knew we were in for some high prices, so my mission was to photograph as much as possible, dream of taking all these great ingredients home for a festive meal, and crave the glorious flowers on display on each corner. It’s best to let the pictures speak for themselves, for now. Be sure to click on each photo to enlarge and take in its full glory.
On my way home tomorrow, I will think up some fabulous summary to this long week of work and fun, and promise to cook something snazzy with the little treats I hope to sneak on the plane.
