RE: London street scenes for #treetuesday
Wow you actually saw some of the real London which is brilliant.
Sheppy is where, in the old days east enders spent their summers. Picking hops. It was a way to get out of the city and earn some money.
The tradition of visiting Kent continues but no hop picking now :)
I actually went to an outdoor Elton John concert that was on an old hop farm in Kent.. He flew in, in a helicopter and landed next to the stage after we were all seated. Very dramatic. And I went to Sissinghurst and saw the hop kilns. Amazing!
Elton is such a rock star lol. I saw him many years ago when he got a bucket of ice water over the head. :)
Kent is lovely in parts.
