Did a trip to Borough Market - with limited success(obviously more interesting for me then for the boys) - one of the oldest and largest food markets in London(London Bridge).

| Monmouth Coffee C0 |
Real 'foodie heaven'. Pretty much swarming with people (huge numbers congregating on the 'Monmouth Coffee Company') - best coffee I have had in a long time.

Amazing variety of fruit and veges - all the types of mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers, lettuces etc that you can imagine and more (I could have spent a long time investigating this with pleasure, but didn't push the kids buttons(although Ollie had a good interest)).
All sorts of people, stroppy man in the wine shop(seemed to have a 'dislike' of children), very creative lovely women(odd ringleted hair and brilliant blue eye makeup) in cake/bread stall (told us about her cats, dogs and snakes at home - gave the kids lots of free samples). Lots of very appealing oversized cakes, biscuits ...
Staggered home laden down with goodies.
Great to hear about the updates and your adventures. Interesting to hear about Clapham as I remember the area well.

ReplyDeleteYum! How's the cooking for five in your apartment going? Did you manage to get insurance for your new vehicle? We all fab. Just been on school camp last week with Karina up to Paekakariki camp ground. Lovely hanging out with 120 adolescents. Never thought I'd put adolescents and lovely in the same sentence EVER! Kids are so hilarious, aren't they? Well, you would know from traveling with yours. They see things from a different angle most of the time. You're doing really well keeping us up to date with your news. I don't know how you fit it in, but we're glad you are. Take care
