Exploring Brixton

I went to Brixton the first time I came to the UK after Polly and Michael moved back. I really liked it and wanted to see it again.
I decided to walk. You never know what you might see.
i couldn't find the houses in that photo.
Then I saw some flash horses and realised it was a funeral. Of course didn't think to get a photo until it was nearly too late. But I did get one.
what an amazing head of hair!
Then I got to Brixton. An amazing place. So diverse. So much colour.
Call me weird but I do love to see what the supermarkets shelves. So much rice and there were bags at the back of the shop for bulk buyers!
i had to check Google to see what these were. I've forgotten now if course!
so much fish!
and meat!
Any colour, any style. You can get it here.
any country

I thought this picture was interesting. Why here. Then more like this.
there's a name on this too
i plan to visit this place. Challenging the Narrative is the exhibition.
Then the finale near the station. He was so good. I tried a video but he stopped playing as soon as I started. 
I'm so glad I went back.

My last day in Bologna

Up early this morning for my free coffee and brioche. I did rest before I went. A delightful breakfast! the noodles were ok but I didn't drain the tuna enough so it was a bit wet - yuk! But it was protein! I thought I would walk to the railway station today to see if it was ok for tomorrow. It's an easy route which is good.  It was a lovely walk. Lots of shops but also historic sites that I would never have found otherwise. it looks like the Gateway of India. No clue. the railway station. the same gateway from the other end. It looks like a most around it with ruins - maybe Roman. those look very deep - maybe something to do with the canals. it was a fun find. the across a road there's was this.  and this? It looked like the whole lot of it was a welcome to the city. The only thing I could find was from Google maps. Bologna, Emilia-Romagna http...

I've done the packing but I've got too much stuff. Only 4 sleeps so need to sort this soon. Apart from packing there's the garden, a tree to be sorted, bookings still to be sorted..... Another day and a relook and a repack and all is well. Everything fits and the bag was easy to do up! That means room for expansion. 😊  Now it's only 2 sleeps.

A very old pub! Can't find the name of it.
