Out and about in Chelsea ~ part 2

I liked seeing the Union Jack that danced proudly in the breeze, from this house.
Back in 1890, there would have been a lot of work if your occupation was a brick layer.



We walked the old streets in the early morning sun, admiring all the tall and ornate brick houses.
Most people were still fast asleep, after all it was early Sunday morning.

When visiting a big City I like to search out a peaceful corner away from the rushing traffic.
I love the quietness, that is around, leaving me alone with my thoughts and reflections.
And when the silence ends, we are ready to face its challenges once more and accept all it has to offer.

Have a beautiful week everyone!
Hugs

Out and about in Chelsea

We went for a walk early one Sunday morning before the shops were open.
It was pleasant as there was a nip in the air and the sky was clear blue.
I loved this little Art Deco shop and would have been fun to take a look around it.

The fountain playing in Sloane Square
The ornate entrance to this building is fabulous.

Building Character
"Character is like the foundation of a house~ it is below the surface"

I hope that you are enjoying your weekend.
It is raining here today and so much for going to pick the olives off our tree which are ripe and ready to be harvested.
Maybe tomorrow might be a better day for it.

I look forward to coming to visit you all.
Hugs

Out and about in Chelsea

Treat yourself to some pretty flowers.
What's behind the green door?


Maybe buy a cupcake, from Peggy Porschen's pink cake shop


As you can see by the photographs, there was a lack of blue in the sky, but we had a fun walk, looking at the shops and buildings about. Sorry about the glare from the shop windows.

Have a beautiful week
