Today we discovered the hidden treasure of London’s food scene. Food markets! Specifically, the Borough Markets.
Savoy cabbage - how very British
We had just been to the Tower of London and I’d had the dubious honour of paying 20p for the world’s most disgusting public toilet. So we went in search of lunch, and upon the recommendation of our friend Tori, headed for Southwark.
Words cannot describe how happy this discovery made me. I knew you had it in you Britain! We started lunch by sharing a plate of Raclette – a delicious combo of melted Raclette cheese, potatoes, gherkins and sweet onions. We sampled our way through the markets and then finished up with dessert. I had what may well have been the world’s best (and richest!) brownie and Julian had a coconut and ginger slice thing which was also amazing.
Because I know you aren’t all as obsessed with food as I am, I’ve made a gallery of all my photos, so anyone who is interested should go there to check out the many photos I took.
Hi Jules and Leah
You must indeed have been in food heaven, Leah. It looks good enough to eat!
How are your feet going – you have been doing lots of walking by the look of it; and the weather is being reasonably good to you.
I usually check the blog as soon as I get to work – inspires me for the day!
Lots of Love
Mum (Kay)
Hi Mum
60 steps to our hotel room (no lift),
60 metres is the longest escalator on to the Tube,
257 steps to the Whispering Gallery in St Paul’s Cathedral.
So yes, lots of walking. Feet tired, but otherwise OK. Had our first bit of real rain today, so can’t complain about that.
Hi Ms Leah (and Julian!)
I emailed you today!! Missing you heaps, the blog is FANTASTIC! You guys should seriously write a book!!
I am cracking up at the food… I showed Karen and Kathryn!
