Chinese New Year

It was Chinese new year last week. I made myself a bracelet of beads of the animals of the Chinese zodiac and painted my nails an imperial red to celebrate. Here are some photos of my recent trip to the Chinese supermarket in Bristol - it is possibly one of my favourite places - everything is odd and it makes my brain feel like it is expanding looking at all the weirdly shaped vegetables and strangely flavoured things you can eat - grass jelly anyone? There is a restaurant upstairs I have still to go to also.
