IN GENERAL, WE ARE REPELLED BY GROUP ACTIVITIES AND GATHERINGS. SO TAKING THE TUBE ON A SATURDAY MORNING TO EAST LONDON DIDN'T EXACTLY EASE US INTO THE WEEKEND.
WE GOT A LITTLE NEW YORK ON THAT JOURNEY, STOMPING AROUND IN BIG BLACK BOOTS, ARMED WITH COFFEE, DESPERATE TO GET ABOVE GROUND AND ONTO MARKETS AND WANDERING.
AND FINALLY WE EMERGED TO A MOODY SKY,
HELLO EAST LONDON.
AS IF WE NEEDED FURTHER ARGUMENT TO TAKE UP RESIDENCE ON A BOAT,
HOUSEBOAT BOHEMIA HEAVEN, BONJOUR.
TYPICAL MARKET BITS, SOME CONFECTIONARY, ABOVE,
AND A TEENY TINY LITTLE GROUPIE COAT DESTINED FOR A PINT SIZED PENNY LANE:
WE WARMED OURSELVES OVER SOME MINT TEA, AND WANDERED OVER TO THE COLUMBIA ROAD WHERE WE FELL MADLY AND DEEPLY IN THIS PLACE
WE SAW ONE OF THESE SEATS IN THE WINDOW, AND NEARLY FAINTED. VICTORIAN CHAIRS RECOVERED IN WHITE SILKSCREENED VELVET.
IS THERE ANYTHING MORE DECADENT THAN WHITE VELVET?
NO MY FRIENDS, THERE IS NOT.
AND JUST TO ROUND THINGS OFF, SOME INSANELY COOL DOGGIES CRAFTED FROM WOOL. TANNER AND LAWSON IS ALL ABOUT WHIPPETS, WHICH IS FANTASTIC BECAUSE WE'RE PRETTY SURE WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN ONE IN PAST LIFE.
GO AND VISIT THEM, THE DARLING JONATHAN WILL CHARM YOU TO PIECES.
JUST DON'T BUY OUR CHAIRS PLEASE.
