Roast dinner!

Today we caught the (very delayed) Tube to Aldgate East where we met Sarah for a great tour of the local area. Unfortunately Spittlefield market doesn't open on a Saturday, but there was plenty more to check out. We walked down some cool little streets that must have been there FOREVER! We wandered down Brick Lane with all it's Indian restaurants and checked out some of the local markets. We wandered down the main road, which is filled with many clubs and bars - the area seems very much the place to be now.

We finally made it to Sarah's flat - which is in a high-rise! Another new experience for me. It was very mini, but a very nice place. We had a wonderful roast dinner which Leanne cooked, with lamb and loads of veges (which I helped out with eating!). It was a lovely afternoon catching up.

Emma buying bread

We had planned to meet up with Mum's friend Emma P after that and when she called we realised that she only lived very near by - excellent! We met her on her way back from Xmas shopping and walked to her place via a great little market. We bought some lovely fresh bread and cheese and went back to hers for more chatching up and laughing! She has a lovely place to live - 4 stories with a large back yard! She made M&D some great smelling toasties before we headed home at about 10pm!! big day/night out for me!!!
