There are so many reasons I love being in the shop at the weekends.
Not everybody that visits us on a Saturday is aware that Columbia Road on a Sunday is an entirely different place, brought to life by the sight, sound and smell of the weekly flower market.
I love wandering down the street before we open early on Sunday mornings. This week I bought these beautiful 'Katherine Hodgeson' Irises from Lyndon, whose stall outside TREACLE always has the most wonderful plants.
