A trip down Portobello Road

My trip down Portobello Road wasn't quite as eventful as the Bedknobs and Broomsticks sort but still, the place was hopping. I ventured out into the city alone on a Saturday morning not sure of what I'd find. I'd only heard of Portobello Road in songs and movies but it sounded like a good adventure in the little time that I had. I pulled out my trusty Tube map and headed in that direction. After stopping to wander around a springy Notting Hill, I followed the hoards of people walking towards the famous street.

It didn't disappoint in the least. Even though the crowds and tourists were in full force, I loved the bustle of it. Antiques, street sellers, musicians, food…and a beautiful sunny day made it perfect. I hadn't planned on spending as much time there as I did but I kind of got carried away in it all.

Especially the music. My favorite new find was an amazing voice, Robbie Boyd. First thing I did after getting home was google him to see how to hear more. Hoping to see more of him in the future.

And the food? I couldn't pass up a drippy, gooey, delicious crepe. I met an old guy on the street who was laughing while watching me stuff my mouth with one hand and take pictures with the other. What can I say though…food and a camera will make me just about as happy as it gets. Only thing that would have made it better would have been to have Jeff with me. He was working while I was out playing. Now I feel guilty. Shoot. Well, I guess we'll just have to go back again so he can come next time. 🙂
