She is truly magnificent this year, the Corn Queen's final touches are applied before the big day. Apple festival at Borough Market last weekend, a celebration melding both Christian and Pagan traditions.<br />
<br />
The event kicked of with the Harvest Thanksgiving service conducted by Southwark Cathedral and accompanied by the Market's choir.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
In true British fashion we were then treated to the quirky festivities probably adapted from past Pagan rites. The Green Man and Apple Queen led the procession into the market.<br />
<br />

<br />
This is the Corn Queen's big moment, centre of the parade she trundles along in her trolley waving to the crowds. Flag waving, bell ringing and a bit of dancing they travel from Bankside to the market.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The afternoon is filled with story telling, conker fights, Morris Dancing (this has to be one of the quirkiest dances ever invented) and of course lots of apple tastings and cider drinking.<br />

Charles Dickens and his family moved a lot depending on their circumstances. A couple of times he lived in this charming Georgian house in Fitzrovia, just a few yards from the Workhouse.</div>

It is believed that some of the characters in Oliver Twist were based on those from the workhouse. There apparently was even a shopkeeper in the street with the name Bill Sykes!<br />
<br />
Those that are asking for more now however are not poor working lads but rather developers who wish to pull down the Georgian buildings and build modern expensive apartments that sell for a couple of million. <br />
<br />
Dickens fans, historians, local community groups and lots of other Londoners have been trying to save the historic buildings and character of the area. What has been achieved is that the workhouse building has managed to get a heritage order placed on it. Everything around it however will be demolished and a high rise apartment building will go up behind it. The developers plan to gut the workhouse and create luxury apartments inside the facade. <br />

The market late at night is busy with produce arriving to stock the stalls. These are the guys who enable the market to show produce straight from the farm. Many of the farms are in Europe. For those who want us to step back in time I will keep an eye out for the horse and cart from across the river. Problem is that land is all concrete now. But Brits don't let a few problems get in the way. They'll sort something out....... won't they?</div>

A Roman Warrior, an historic church, and a modern glass tower, only in London would all this sit side by side. The site occupied by Southwark Cathedral has always been a place of worship, prior to the earliest Christian church in the seventh century, there is evidence to show Roman pagan worship took place here.<br />
<br />
Now there is a monument in honour of the religion of money, the towering Shard with its exclusive hotel and expensive viewing platform has taken over from the Bishops who managed the brothels along the waterfront in the middle ages.</div>

It's winter, it's grey and wet. It's a bit more difficult to feel enthusiastic about wandering around the city with my camera. </div>

More buildings have popped up since the last time I wandered through the Paddington Basin with my camera. At ground level there are cafes and bars that look very inviting. There are a lot more canal boats than I've seen moored here before, although that may just be coincidental as they may be en route to elsewhere. What really caught my eye however was the large glowing moon, which is still a couple of days away from being a full moon. </div>
