She Made It! Finally...

My sister was due to arrive at Heathrow at 7:00am this morning.

That didn't happen though.  Her flight from Eugene to San Francisco was 90 minutes late leaving due to fog in San Francisco.  She missed her SF to London flight and had to be rerouted to Frankfurt, Germany before arriving here at 5:50pm.

So that changed our plans for today.  

While we were waiting for her, we decided to go back to the Columbia Road Flower Market one last time.  

I enjoyed listening to the banter of the vendors. Many of them are entertainers with their jokes and jibes.

Summer flowers reign now - dahlias and sunflowers.

I'll miss this garden shop.

If I lived here, I would be a 'regular'.

So many pretty flowers.

It's easy to see why they were snapped up and heading to their new homes. 

I think the sunflowers were the winners of the popularity contest - £5 a bunch.

Later in the afternoon we headed over to Green Park and Clarence House.

The park was full of bicyclists finishing up their Prudential ride.

We had tickets for a tour of Clarence House - home to the Prince of Wales.

We got to see four of the rooms on the ground floor.  No photos though.  I did enjoy seeing how it is now decorated.  The Prince has kept much of his late grandmother's furnishings - furniture, paintings, and the like.

We then walked through St. James Park and I was delighted to see my friends the pelicans once again.

Love this Lego Underground billboard too.

My sister arrived at Paddington Station about 7:00pm.  We have her home, we've fed her, and so now off to bed.  Tomorrow is to be another busy day.
