Borough Market

Saturday’s trip to Borough Market was probably one of the highlights from London this time. Michael who took me there, don’t know me that well, but he knew that I would love this place. Just walking through the doors of this epicurean temple had me grinning like a child in a candy store. Stalls after stalls with food, fruit, vegetables and flowers from all over the world. Many places also let you taste what they have to offer so walking around in the market is not only a feast for the eyes but also for the taste buds.

Of course the market is also home to some nice wine shops and bars. Bedales probably being the best one offering both food and wine to very good prices. Being Saturday afternoon and all, Michael and I decided to go a bit grand by ordering a glass of sparkling wine. Michael went for the more traditional style from Italy whilst I chose a glass of pink bubbles from Switzerland. Sitting there looking at people and talking about food and wine we both realised that there are a lot worse things to do on a Saturday afternoon. Cleaning. Laundry. Ironing. Sometime one just has to enjoy life a little.
