Yesterday we went on an outing to Borough Markets in Southwark which is a huge food market selling heaps of fresh produce. We went to the BBC Good Food show last weekend and this was a million times better, plus it was free!
They sell all sorts of fruit and veg, cheese, olives, cakes, meat, seafood and heaps of other things. There's also lots of stalls selling burgers, roast meats, toasted cheese sandwiches (see below), soup, mulled wine and just about everything you could think of. It was really busy and obviously quite a huge tourist attraction as i heard a number of different accents although mostly American.
These toasted cheese sandwiches smelled amazing and the cheese was being shaved off giants wheels of cheese. Yum!

Also, who knew brussel sprouts grew like this?! How cool.
It was SO cold yesterday so Nate got a hot cup of spiced New Forest cider. It was quite delicious and we also picked up a visitors booklet for the New Forest as we're off there next weekend. So I'd say we'll be visiting the cidery.
I spotted this paella that i wanted for lunch.
Here's what it looked like on my plate. A bit on the pricey side at 7 pounds but hey this is London and we were at a touristy spot. At least it was tasty.
And Nathanael decided on the roast pork roll with cooked red onions, capsicum and tzatziki. Also tasty.
We then walked along the Thames up to Southbank to check out the Christmas markets. The wind along the river felt as though it was coming in direct from the arctic, so i couldn't really resist a pic of this optimistic ice cream van. It must have been 5 degrees. Even English people aren't that crazy!

Dear Nate
Have been following your English exploits regularly. You both look like you're having a fine old time, despite those irredeemably insane Poms, as indicated by the ice cream van.
Loved the snowman. Looked much bigger with the close-up.
Finishing at All Saints in 2 weeks, have had a great time. Life has now finally conspired in my favour and was offered permanents at ASC, Guildford and, my dream school, Helena College. So will hopefully be biking it to Helena next year, unless me heart gives out.
Give me a shout whenever you come back lucysteve57@hotmail.com
