Visit to New Covent Garden Flower Market

Visited the wonderful New Covent Garden Flower Market yesterday with a group of business women from the Athena Network.
Our host was Liz from Blue Sky Flowers. (a fabulous florist) http://www.blueskyflowers.co.uk/.
It was an early start, left home at 6.15am , (yes am) but it was well worth it.
Following a very welcome cup of tea, Danish pastry and tour of the site we were left to explore!  I recommend this to any brides to be, if they are still looking for inspiration for their colour scheme. Just talk to your florist or contact the market direct. http://www.newcoventgardenmarket.com/market

The Market is full of Christmas decorations at the moment and we had the opportunity to make a table decoration or wreath with Liz's guidance. I also made a twiggy thing!

It's not just flowers, there are vases, candle holders and candelabra as well.

Plus everything you need for Christmas. Just remember, you have to buy everything in bulk!

Seeking lunch we headed just around the corner to Lasscos, Brunswick House, 30 Wandsworth Road, London, SW8 2LG. http://www.lassco.co.uk/home/ It's an architectural salvage place, but has an intrigueing  cafe full of items to buy, including the chairs we were sitting on! . Plus the food was good and very reasonable. Perfect.
