Meeting a monster down Broadway Market
.
Good morning!
Just a quick note to say that I’m not going to be trading at Broadway Market this coming Saturday – I’m terribly sorry if there were any readers who were thinking of coming down to see me…
.
In the meantime, I’d like to share with you one of my favourite pictures from my iPhone: we took it a while back, about a month ago I think.

Meet “Beastie“. He was promoting a show at Chats Palace. – Isn’t this like the best pull-on costume ever?! (Apart from Micky Mouse & gang in DisneyLand that I’d chase down, squeeze & cuddle until they say no.)
.
We get all sorts walking down the market, sometimes to promote shows/ venues like this or to hand out company leaflets/ balloons. There’s also some fundraisers for charities. And actually, such particular fundraising group that I liked seeing down the market was the famous Pearly Kings and Queens called “the Pearlies” with their black outfits decorated with rows of hand-sewn pearl buttons. Very London! :)
Good morning! The monster is very cute and you look very cute too! And also the man in the background is cute too. He looks like Johnny Depp!!

Petoskystone, I’m glad you agree! As for the eyes…, hm, no idea… Perhaps in the neck under his big nose??

Beastie, Pearly Kings and Queens, a Johnny Depp lookalike… you certainly work in an interesting place! As for not being at the market this Saturday… well, I have some exciting news. I’m moving back to London in January! So see you down the market in a few months :D :D xx

Great! Yes, I think Bethnal Green is the nearest in terms of Ldn underground. – And then there’s a bit of a walk, about 15 minutes from there to the market. – I’m in the middle-ish of the market by the way, opposite no. 49!! C u there!!!!!!!!!
