Purchase on Portobello

After breakfast with my friend Laura on Holland Park Avenue I ventured home via Portobello Road.

As it's the Saturday of the Easter weekend the market is HEAVING with people and I have to prime my stock answers in preparation for questions by tourists:

1. The Travel Bookshop is on Blenheim Crescent

2. The 'blue door' doesn't exist...

... and finally

3. Although I live round here and work in the media, I don't know Hugh Grant personally

This is a French lady called Anaïs who has just bought a birdcage.
