Covent Garden

I arrived at Covent Garden a little early for my meeting tonight with Architecture for Humanity at one of the girls' office there, Scott Brownrigg. It was our second meeting and I didn't want to seem too eager and turn up before everyone else, so I walked around Covent Garden a little as it was quite busy with people just finishing off their shopping, going home from work, generally going about their 730 business.

There was a man playing the sax, a little wendy house/log cabin type bar type thing selling Mulled Wine and Chai tea which added to the aroma and sound of an evening in London. I was pulled in by the bright lights of the carousel nearby that spun quietly to the sax man's tune.

Stepping inside the actual Market Hall, I found this fella:

I had two pictures but this one you can see the looks on the audiences faces!


Pre/Post-Christmas crowd Posted by Picasa

A little quiet and lonely walkway that a few hours beforehand would have been rammed with people busy trying to get ahead of the Christmas crowd. I'm definately looking forward to this Christmas in London. Mince pies?! Hot Chocolate?! Turkey?! *goes into a flurry of Christmas*

ahem.

The meeting went well, and our group has shrunk again, from over 15 people to 9. Lets just hope we get to do the crisis shelter this year justice. More on that another day, for now - back to work! xxw p.s we might be looking for some graffitti artists to help us with the graphics on site so stay posted.
