Shopping in London and Camden Town

Thought I would jump in here and give a female perspective of our time in London so far.....Girls you can buy anything here!  As Frank alluded to in an earlier blog, there is a street (Chiltern St) full of stores dedicated to clothes and shoes for tall women, how fantastic.  It was kind of strange though walking into shops and being surrounded by other women my height (sadly, not many taller).  My favourite is the shop Long Tall Sally where I finally bought a coat with a waistline that isnt under my armpits, life changing (see said coat in pics below).

We also spent Saturday at the Camden Town Market, this is a massive market, really 5 markets in one, we spent most of our time in the Stables, looking through quirky shops and vintage clothing stalls.  Everyone made a purchase EXCEPT me (I know the boys found it hard to believe too).  We found a cosy little pub for lunch (not hard, this place is full of cosy little pubs), and after a couple of wines which are really small buckets, we returned to the market and found the live music venue at the Stables, set up in what were stables (see photos).  The music was fabulous and sounded even better after a couple more buckets of wine thanks to an attentive hubby.  Headed home on the tube just like Londoners with a bit of a wobbly boot.  Pizza for dinner, sleep. great.

  2. Sadly the boots like all our shoes aren't surviving Paris's dusty plazas. It's a brilliant place though. Can't wait to see you and tell you all about it. Cheers. Frank
