Walking and shopping  around London

Just booths selling fun things
I thought I would go crazy with the
Union Jack, But did not, would have liked now to have bought a pillow,
could get it here. too.
thought this looked like the color wheel
I aways like the things that remind of it
This shirt was very pink.
One of the hotels we stayed
was  by this tube enter way
This gal was on the tube ,some of my favorite colors
light blue, pink and orange.
She knew I was taking her picture and liked it.

this was a promotion
They had bands fashion show
the whole street was closed off
They gave samples of Ice Cream 
coffee or raspberry 
Lines to get free Ice Cream

Area to sit and rest and kids could play
