Columbia Flower Market

Just spent a long weekend in London to see the Blur gig at Hyde Park. Great gig by the way, maybe more about that later on.

What has intrigued me the most was the Columbia Road Flower Market every Sunday. This was like a heaven for us, and when returning after a good night out for Hans’ birthday we ended up buying some lovely herbs. The lovely old lady in the stall was delighted to hear her plants would end up in a Belgian city garden, and we from our side were delighted to find some herbs we’ve been planning to plant for some time. After sleeping a few hours we returned, and couldn’t stop us from buying even more at the same stall. At the end we returned to Belgium with the following herbs/plants.

• Lemon verbena (x2)
• Purple basil
• Chocolate peppermint
• Bergamot
• Chervil
• English Strawberries (x3) and some lovely willow baskets to hang them on the wall
