Something for the weekend

I spotted this incredible bow-encrusted Jigsaw store on Westbourne Grove a couple of weeks ago. The store was literally in full Spring bloom. Cool, huh?

More evidence that London's in full spring bloom right now. I took these pics (above) in Greenwich on the weekend - but my street is also awash with pink (see below). I love getting showered with pink petal confetti every time a breeze picks ups. Really enjoying it while it lasts.

Wild buttercups in Greenwich

What a difference a couple of months make. The last time I walked across this field in Greenwich it was covered in the deepest snow London had seen in almost 20 years. On Saturday I discovered a sea of yellow wild buttercups. So very pretty. Gorgeous spring weather, too!
