Borough Market

We went in to London on Saturday.  The plan was to tour the Tower of London in the morning and the walk over the Tower Bridge to find some lunch.  Murph's boss told him we should stop by the Borough Market just on the other side of the Thames.  I can't begin to describe the most fabulous market I've ever seen!  There were dozens of stalls...

Fish of all varieties

Lamb, Beef, Pork, Mutton

You would not believe the cheese!

We've not been impressed with the bread here, but this was wonderful

I went away with a hunk of marvelous parmigiano reggiano, some wild boar sausage and a bottle of white truffle oil.  I was only sorry that we were staying in the city and I wasn't able to buy any of the wonderful things that needed immediate refrigeration. 


We had lunch at a small cafe with a stellar wine list.  Then I managed the perfect dessert:

A savory mini "ice cream" cone of fresh mozzarella with a dollop of pesto.

Moving Day

We're leaving the hotel for about a months stay in a short-term let until our flat is ready in March. Oh, and it's also Murph's birthday! Happy Birthday sweetie, isn't moving a GREAT present?

In any event we had beautiful, sunny weather in London last Saturday and here are a few pictures!
