Weekend wanderings

Last weekend, that is - when Barbara, Emma and Helen were in town. We went down to Warren Street in search of a sculptors' materials show and came across this "design" shop which had all sorts of interesting stuff -- bowls made out of melted plastic soldiers, for instance --soft toys for children of all ages --and these decadent bunnies, which the photogenic Emma is giving the thumbs up --The knitted cupcakes looked good enough to eat --The sculptors' shop is called Tirantis and was an eye-opener in terms of tools and possibilities.
After meeting Thomas and grabbing some lunch at Borough Market - and being annoyed by the voracious, pestilential pigeons, aka "flying rats" - we walked along the river and stopped at a pub, where we saw this creature at work controlling them - literally, the cat among the pigeons --Locals (left) and tourists (right) enjoy a fine day --
