Last minute errands. Like 3 metre connector cable for the ipad mini, handy when staying in places where the sockets are few or badly placed - which is almost everywhere we stay. Overpriced, like everything Apple, but no more so than at home. Most but not all shops in Camden Town open, as it's Easter Monday. Funny division. Exit the tube station and turn left and it's all charity shops, supermarkets, discount stored, bakeries, pubs,  places that unlock mobile phones and sell second hand ones. Mothers with small children in tow buying groceries, people getting haircuts, young men handing out leaflets. But exit the tube station and turn right and you're into Camden Market. All counterculture and young energy. Street food, buskers, jewellery, incense, wall hangings, piercing  studios. The sidewalks almost too crowded to move. A division that is becoming more pronounced every year.

Bus from Camden High Street to Kilburn High Road. Past Abbey Road of Beatles fame. Last supper of the season at Roses.
