Shopping at Sainsbury’s

As usual on a Sunday, we went shopping at Sainsbury’s in the morning.

Sunshine in Amwell Street

After lunch, we called at the deli and found a table free where we could enjoy our coffee.

Sitting at the back of the 214

Tigger needed a 2023 diary and so we caught a 214 bus to Camden Town. It was crowded and we had to sit at the back (meaning a scramble to leave the bus at our stop).

Camden High Street

We left the bus in Camden High Street where most of the shops were open.

The Works

We went into a branch of The Works which sells books, toys and stationery. The diaries were in a hidden corner but we found them and Tigger bought one.

Aboard the 274

We walked to the bus stop in Pratt Street and boarded a 274 bus. This took us to Regent’s Park.

Crossing the Regent’s Canal

To enter the park you must cross a bridge over the Regent’s Canal.

Walking in the park

In the park, we walked down the broad main path.

Sir Cowasjee Jehangir Fountain

We sat for a while on a bench near the Sir Cowasgee Jehangir drinking fountain, also known as the “Ready Money Drinking Fountain” after the nickname of Sir Cowasjee who gifted it to the community.

Beautiful trees

We walked among the beautiful trees and…

Open areas

…along the open areas.

We were hoping to find the Frieze Sculpture Exhibition and we eventually located it. The exhibits were much as you would expect, given the current state of art. I photographed several of the works but with increasing feelings of scepticism. I made no attempt to photograph everything. I present here just a selection with a photo of the artwork and a photo of its label. Make of these what you will.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wood pigeon-

Better than any work of art on display was this wood pigeon who stood quietly beside me while I photographed it.

Aboard the 30

We now walked to the bus stop and caught a number 30 bus back to the Angel and home.
