Flowers at Borough Market.

End of London and Borough Market...

The bread man at Borough Market.

London came and went so fast. It was such a great experience, and travelling with Anna was just wonderful. We got told about Borough Market by a friend of ours, so we made our way over on the Good Friday. What a brilliant market! It is huge, and the food doesn't seem to stop. The breads, the cakes, the teas, the cheeses, the pies, the paninis, the nuts and baklavas; it was all pretty special. I sat down with a glass of prosecco and a vietnamese curry that changed my life. Here are a couple of photos:

This was amazing. The two massive blocks of cheese sit under flames and melt, and it is then scraped off onto baked potatoes and served with pickled gherkins and onions.

The Paper Moon.

One of my favourite songs by Nat King Cole... Found this little pub on the South bank.

More of London...

I took this photo today in Regents Park, where I fell asleep under a tree after a stroll.

I have done so much walking the last couple of days here in London I'm actually stiff. I've been trying to avoid all the stuffy and cramped undergrounds and see as much as I can above ground as possible. The weather has also been superb, so it has actually made walking a real treat. I had a realisation today that I may have to shave off my beard, after I woke up from a snooze in Regents Park with a group of young girls nearby were looking at me and discussing how London should clean up their act with vagrants and immigrants! It may be time to clean up a little!
