As I got off the bus after meeting mum and wandering around Crouch End, I'd obviously just missed a shower and there was a rainbow. It was an OK rainbow, but I preferred this low sun shot.
Slept through quite late, tired what with all the nights out. After a nice bath, went out to Archway to meet my mum. A quick look round the market before lunch in Barrys (no apostrophe) Kitchen. Gave her her presents from Jordan - a scarf, chocolate camel and dates.
Very nice Mediterranean breakfast - mum had a halloumi wrap with chips, taking half of it home with her. I got the bus with her after and when she'd got off, carried on to Crouch End for a look round the shops. Found nice corduroy wide leg trousers from Toast in a dress agency.
Just finished watching Soul - a lovely heartwarming animation that was.
A very emotive image of Crouch End, after the shower and showing the suburb well! I am amazed reading this as I know Crouch End very well. I was born and lived in Muswell Hill for the first 19 years of my life before leaving home in 1972. I used to go back regularly to visit an aunt who died in 2006. I have been back for great school reunions and the last one was last year. Small world eh?
@marshwader amazing small world! Although actually this is an image as I got off my final bus in Walthamstow, but both suburbs' development date from a similar time so things like the housing stock are similar. In fact, we currently live in a small terrace which looks identical to the one in Topsfield Road, just off Middle Lane where I was living in 1972, aged 9! Wonder if we ever crossed paths! I was also born in Muswell Hill, but my parents then moved and we lived in Hornsey, Crouch End before moving back to Muswell Hill in 1975. My mum continued to live there until about 3-4 years ago when she moved to a flat with a lift in Highgate.
