SO THIS PAST WEEKEND IT WAS ONCE AGAIN BEAUTIFUL WEATHER AND WE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE DAY ON SATURDAY AND HEADED OVER TO PORTEBELLO MARKET. PORTOBELLO MARKET HAPPENS EVERY SATURDAY OVER IN THE NOTTING HILL AREA AND IT IS A STREET MARKET WITH FOOD CLOTHES ANTIQUES EVERYTHING. IT WAS VERY CROWDED AND HARD TO WALK AROUND BUT WE MANAGED AND WENT INTO SOME NEAT SHOPS. PORTEBELLO MARKET IS ALSO THE PLACE WHERE PARTS OF NOTTING HILL WERE FILMED. WE ALSO FOUND THE TRAVEL BOOKSHOP WHERE HUGH GRANT WORKED IN THE MOVIE. ITS ALWAYS INTERESTING TO FIND SPOTS AROUND LONDON WHERE FILMS WERE SHOT. AFTER WALKING AROUND FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, EMPTYHANDED, WE SET OFF TO A COLOURSCAPE MUSICAL FESTIVAL.

WE HAD HEARD ABOUT THIS FROM ALAN HERTZ AS SOMETHING THAT WAS HAPPENING FOR TWO WEEKS OR SO. WHAT IT WAS, WAS A BUNCH OF BALLOONS AND THEN VARIOUS COLORS INSIDE...IT WAS VERY OVERWHELMING AT FIRST BUT DEFINITELY SOMETHING DIFFERENT. WE ALL HAD A LOT OF FUN INSIDE THERE AND IT WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO DO IN LONDON.

AFTER THAT WE HEADED OVER TO A STORE CALLED PRIMARK AND HAD OURSELVES A BIT OF A SHOPPING SPREE...THERE WERE SO MANY CLOTHES AT SUCH GREAT PRICES HOW COULD WE RESIST. WE DEFINITELY HAD A BUSY DAY...BUT WENT OUT THAT NIGHT TO A NICE LITTLE PUB WHOSE NAME IS ESCAPING ME RIGHT NOW...BUT IT WAS VERY AS WE SAY LONDON OF US. IT WAS A NICE RELAXING WEEKEND AND THANK GOD FOR THE WEATHER COOPERATING FOR US IT HAS BEEN GREAT.
