More Borough Market

The Rabot Estate Chocolate shop was to die for, in terms of product and decor. Such a shame we couldn't buy anything, it would have melted within 30 minutes.

We tasted & shopped for Cheese and Sausages in the Jubilee Market

and croissants for this mornings breakfast

just look at the size of those muffins! 

The juice stands were so busy!

A quick peek in Neal's Yard Dairy

and then next door to  Gelateria 3Bis where Kieran must have tasted the whole range before deciding on strawberry & lemon sorbet (with chocolate sauce from the tap!)

Still going!.....

Then to

Spanish Food Specialist's Brindisa - heaven!

(they have an online shop too)

We had lunch at Fish Restaurant which was ok, to be honest we would have preferred to grab a bite at one of the stalls but we were so hot and tired we needed to sit. So we duly paid over the odds for an ok lunch, never mind!

After the market we had a swift drink on the side of the Thames next to the Golden Hind at the Old Thameside Inn before trudging back the car with tummies and bags bulging

stopping off only to get a few shots of the Shard & to grab a Caramel Frappucino ;)

A Fabulous Day :)

London's Borough Market

Yay! Happy Day for me!

I finally got to visit Borough Market in Southwark London.

It was such a lovely day, the sun shone it it was at least 30 degrees C - phew!

The first photo also doubles as my #photoadayaug - Inside

Inside this bun is a BRT

(bacon, rocket & tomato with mustard mayo)

Breakfast buns at Maria's Market Cafe

Deeeeelicious!

But wait! Before that Kieran had already scoffed an amazing Smoked Toulouse Sausage on a stick.....

and tasted some chicken curry!

A few random shots of slurpiness

 

Hungry yet?!

I'll post more photos in the next post.

Blogger seems to have had enough.

A Day to Remember!

After much perseverance I managed to secure us two sets of tickets to the Olympic games. Unfortunately we gave up the first set to see Table Tennis last weekend as Kieran was extremely unwell :(

Thankfully yesterday went ahead and oh my, what an afternoon/evening it was.

We took the train at noon, then the underground to the North Greenwich arena (aka the O2!)

The transport was a dream, clear signposting and ooodles of volunteers on hand to help - brilliant!

Getting there so early meant we whizzed through security and had plenty of time for something to eat (burgers at the Slug & Lettuce!) and a visit to the shop to buy a basketball, pin badge and some Olympic Ring wristbands!

The Bronze medal match between Australia and Russia was a true spectacle with superb entertainment, the crowd was amazing and it was so special to rub shoulders with folks from across the globe. The Aussies lead for the majority of the game and were the medal winners :)

After the match we headed back toward the Underground station and as expected the queue was quite large so we decided to hang back & explore for a while. Emirates had sponsored a cable car which takes you to the Royal Docks in 10 mins.

We the decided to go and see the Greenwich Pier and I'm so glad we did! After a short wait we were on a Thames Clipper with coffee in hand. What an experience, I blimmin' love London!!!

I'll leave you with a few shots of the journey....

The first is from the pier (if you squint you can see the floodlights at the Olympic Stadium!)

Tower Bridge

Happy Day :)
