Art: Pre - Raphaelites

Do you like art. Well there are different types: Surrealism, Impressionists, Pre - Raphaelites and many more. Well today we are going to look at the Pre - Raphaelites. 

Lets start then. Who are they? There names:

John Everet Millais
William Holman Hunt

Columbia Flower Market

 Have you ever been bored on Sundays? Yes No? If yes then why don't you go to Colombia Flower Market at Columbia road! If you can't go there then I'll do it for you! Lets start at Bethnal Green station:



Next, lets turn right and go under the purple bridge: 
After the purple bridge is a high street with loads of places to eat and to shop for example tescos or mcdonalds. It is just quicker to turn right and go through different parks to see the autumn trees so lets do that. 
 Turning right
 A weird looking taxi
 Flowers...
 A fenced garden
I think that it shouldn't be fenced
 On a slide, in a park
 Down a slide, in a park
 Some steps
 Once again the steps
 Me on the steps
 A swing
 Me on the swing
 Have you found the street? On one side there is Royal London hospital

 On there the other side there is a school I call Bridge school but its really called...
On the other side of the school's bridge we come to...
They are right, quite old...

 More trees...

On the other side of the road we have...
 The flower market!
Welcome!
There is also lots of music :
 

 
Except for all the wonderful plants there are also some weird types like these ones...
I hope you'll see me there next Sunday!!!!!!!!!
See you!
