I often speculate about what people have in their bags. A brief case can disguise sandwiches, newspapers or lap top computers. Many of us wouldn’t dream of going out without a bag. Here we have a variety of bags.

This lady was a common site around Spitalfields up until a few years ago. She always had the company of a shopping trolley  which would assist her walking.
