Decided to take advantage of some decent weather today by venturing out to the antiques market in Portobello Road. Lots of really interesting items (like a bible from 1599) but we came away with an antique mantel clock (art deco style – think Hercules Poirot – with a rich Westminster chime) and a very distinctive but classically-shaped small lead glass chandelier.
Had to buy a special suitcase to get them back safely on the plane, but absolutely worth it.
