'333' then Camden Lock.
Sunday morning we woke very late as we’d been up till 3am talking and seeing the family at ‘333’ where they’d gathered for a birthday lunch for Gwilym. How lovely it was to see them all and we weren’t jealous as it was wet and windy in Turramurra… but then they told us what they were having for lunch!! Fresh Oysters then Moreton Bay Bugs, Prawns and Barramundi cooked on the Barbeque… and for dessert I’d ordered a basket of Floral Fruit which looked absolutely spectacular and I’m told was delicious with the fruit all ripe and yummy!
My how Jackson Harry has grown tall and he was quite chatty as well, I think he’s grasped the idea of just where we are… we were sitting in Tom’s living room with Tom (Abi and Emma were sound asleep upstairs)… Jack was staying here himself just last year.
How incredible it is to be able to talk and see them all at ‘333’ for as long as we like for free… our grandchildren are growing up in a very different world as far as communication is concerned. After we’d walked home we were so hyped up and excited we couldn’t get to sleep, so stayed up reading till 3!
Anyway… We didn’t want to stay in bed all day so caught the tube and a single decker bus (a Dennis) to Camden Lock. The is the place to go for your Piercing and Tattoos, for the weirdest clothes imaginable, for cheap souvenirs, for great street food, for a decent pint of beer, for antiques, for your Australian Soap LOL and a fun day out. The streets and stalls were packed solid with people but all in a good mood even though it was freezing. I believe it’s quieter during the week but the buzz and friendliness was terrific on a busy Sunday.
The Locks themselves were fascinating, this used to be a big industrial area and the locks were the only way goods were bought in and out… now it’s market stalls and some very classy apartment buildings. A lot of the Antique Shops are permanent and under the arches of the Railway lines and there are a few small apartments up above the shops… John Lennon once lived here. The Horse Hospital was interesting with a big cobbled curved ramp up to it… now it’s full of Antiques which I would have loved to bought but…
We saw many Punks and I don’t know whats! The photo of the two sitting on the Railing was taken from across the road with my telephoto… they wanted £1.00 if you took their photo.
