I never saw how quickly Mr.B’s tiny feet could move!
He darted towards the exit as soon as I put him down on the floor, never looking back.
He was scampering away from the vet in his fifth gear. You never know how hard a mere 2 kg Chihuahua can pull! Anyway, Mr.B slowed down to a cruising speed once he thought the danger was over and we pottered along New North Road, the southbound.
Then, we came across a jewellery studio…
We hardly came this way on foot therefore it had slipped below our radar…
One of the designers, Chrysanthe, showed me a collection of mainly silver jewellery they created at the premises…
On the wall, there were coloured architectural drawings…
Chrysanthe explained to me that her husband who shared the studio as his architectural practice, had participated in Open House London 2013 last weekend and the drawings were a part of the exhibits.
Mr.B had a good nosing around of the shop floor…
The works exhibited there were distinctly original and innovative.
Highly recommended to pay a visit if you are in & around the area.
After leaving the studio, we turned into Linton Street.
What a beautiful day!
The sky was criss-crossed with vapour trails…
Hello, Bilbo barge…
While Mr.B waited in the carrier by the chair, I chatted to Lorraine…
Lorraine was just releasing a lemon drizzle sponge from the tin when we dropped in…
The sponge was cut in half and, she spread ginger preserve very very carefully…
Then, the other half of the cake was placed on top of it. Tickety-boo!
Ta-dah, my tea & cake at the canal! Absolutely priceless…
Once Lorraine finished a meeting with her plumber, we had a good old chitchat in the sun…
Mr.B nibbled on the cake too. Oh I mustn’t forget to brush his teeth once we’ve got home…
Mr B how cute are you?! I love this..
Oh thank you! He is one very chilled out chihuahua (^-^)
I had my Maltese Pom for 16 years.. I love little dogs.
Oh me too! I grew up with Yorkies. And my mom had a papilon. I love any dog. But tiny ones are certainly easier to look after. Can’t imagine having to walk a dog for a few hours a day! Definitely not in London (=_=;)
Must get down and have a piece of cake with Lorraine..such a find! I sigh every time I see pictures! x
Yes, please do! She is such a lovely & cool chick. On some sunday, there is a vintage market barge as well. However, check “sandwich barge” FB page for the latest location before setting off. I don’t want you to be disappointed (^_^)
I love the idea of a barge cafe! I also love the idea of her having a facebook page so that you can track her movements. I wish we had canals in Australia…
(also, your little bloke is adorable)
Lorraine is one great chick as well. She is Irish and has a lovely singing voice. Everything the barge offers is handmade, nothing is off-the-shelf (^-^)
I have another post to write about her chocolate brownie soon. So watch this space!
You don’t have canals in Australia?
I forget to pass a message from Mr.B to you in my previous replay.
He says “THANK YOU!” (^-^)
