Last week I spent a day down in London with my friend Jane
as we both wanted to escape home and go to the big smoke, which in this case quite
literally smoke as we were down on the worse day of all the pollution and Saharan
sand blowing in from over Europe. I’ve never been to Borough Market but Jane
told me it was incredible and boy was it. The market mainly sells food but the
smells and sights that surround you really add to the experience. The market
has been there for the last 200 odd years, just off of the river in the shadow
of the shard.
We drank Prosecco and went round tasting as many of the
markets delights as we could, eyeing up all the different foods millions of
different varieties of tomato, mushrooms, cheese, wines and teas. I came home
my purse much lighter, bag much heavier and senses delighted. I ended up buying
a load of gorgeous chocolates, truffle oils and tea. There is such a good atmosphere
and a real mix of people from city boys in their suits having a lunch time
drink to dressed down foodies doing their weekly shop.
