Brick Lane Market

Sundays are going to be market days. I think. Provided it doesn't get too cold/study doesn't get too much/I don't become too lazy.

So today was Brick Lane Market. I'd read up on it, and I was fully expecting to be bombarded by Indian/Bengali people asking me to go into their restaurants, but there was none of that at all. Maybe it was still early. Well it wasn't that early, it was like 10.30, but even so the streets were really empty and some of the stalls at the market were not fully set up. There were a few different market-like spaces, so I just wandered into them as I saw them. Lots of clothes, jewellery and food. The food smelled SO GOOD. It was all Indian food. If I hadn't just had breakfast and if I didn't have to go back to halls for lunch, I would've had some.

There were actually lots of coats for sale- fur coats, trench coats, duffel coats... I nearly bought a black duffel coat, but I don't really need one yet cos the weather's still pretty warm, so I thought I'd delay that expenditure. There were some pretty good quality coats, most of them second hand, and not all that cheap, but not too expensive, and really, that's about the cheapest they're going to be anywhere. So yeah I didn't buy one. But now when I do need to start looking for a winter coat, I know where to go.
