markets, stuff & dreaming of bikes

23:49






Summer hit London last minute. While everyone is getting in Autumn mood, the sun made a surprise visit. Dave has been strolling around markets, while I have been working the whole weekend.
I caught the sun for an hour at lunch break at least. And while I had some amazing creative makeup jobs this week, he bought plenty of fresh fruit and was preparing a picnic in the park, for me after work. What would I do without this man?
Dave took all these colourful photos as well, around our neighborhood.
Isn't that yellow bike just perfection? We are dreaming about bike rides in Sydney over here,
already checking out routes and gear that we are planning to get.
We haven't been riding bikes in London but we really want to start it down in Sydney.
I  am so excited. Do you ride a bike?

  5. Wasn't the sun gorgeous? I adore that yellow bike. My husband bought a bike last week and now he is pestering me to buy one. I am very taken with Pashleys and Bobbins - I just need to decide how much I will actually use it, given that it is quite hilly where we are in Yorkshire! x

  7. The yellow bike is adorable. My husband just got a mountian bike, so we've been putting it to good use. I just ride with him around our neighborhood, he rides with his friends on the mountians. I'm not sure I could make it up a mountian on a bike ... lol!

  10. Wow, it really does look like a late summer has hit. I don't ride a bike - too many horror stories about accidents - but a lot of people in town do

  11. Oh my gosh, your photographs are beautiful! I just spent so much time reading through your blog. I definitely wrote down a lot of ideas for when I move to London for a semester. Are you vacationing there, or do you call it home? :)

      You will love it, there is so much to do and see.

  16. these markets look like so much fun! ever since moving to St. Augustine, I have been waiting for some farmer's markets to pop up, I'll have to go soon. glad you enjoyed an impromptu last weekend of summer--what a sweetheart he is for planning a picnic! you're a lucky gal. i have a bike here in Florida, and i love it! it's an old-fashioned beach cruiser and it's so much fun :)

  17. I wish I could ride a bike around London, but I live too far from central and the roads scare me there! These photos capture the market so well, love all the vivid colour!

    1. I am too scared here in London too. My work is far from my house. I hope to ride my future bike more locally in Sydney and more in my free time, rather then commuting.

  23. i've committed myself to a 35km bike ride for charity in november and my bike has been sitting in the same spot since last december...eek!
    gorgeous photos!

  24. We ride bikes! But just locally for me. There are a few bike paths around the city for you to explore when you get here. But Melbourne is by far the friendlier bike city in this country. Kellie xx

  25. Love these pics! :D And yes, I ride a bike.. or at least, I will ride it as soon as I manage to fix the one I bought at a public auction here in Sweden. We just moved from Italy, and we can't wait to explore this place by bike! :)
    Big hugs,

  36. These pictures are beautiful, as always. they make me feel a sense of nostalgia for summer and lazy days. My husband and I have a bike similar to that yellow one, only it's a tandem. We love riding it, but I haven't been able to this year at all because I'm pregnant, it makes me excited to ride it next year though!

  37. Fabulous pictures, the light in them is amazing. It definitely still looks like Summer of there. How lovely it will be if you get a late Summer and then simply skip over to Sydney without having to pull out a coat at all! x
