To Market to Market - while London Bridge is still standing

Up bright and early for a visit to Borough Markets - there is some amazing fresh food and produce at this market. Easy to see why Chefs like Jamie Oliver like to shop here. I could imagine myself doing a lot of damage to the bankcard at this markets if I lived in London. And Brett was pretty impressed with meet Rose Byrne (of Alexander fame)

Therese and Sarah decided to do a roast for dinner tomorrow and purchased all the meat and veggies here.

After a few hours at the Borough Markets we headed out to Nottinghill to visit the Portobello Markets - these are more arts, crafts and fashion markets. These markets expend over about 5 blocks and include a huge number of antique stores. I found some nifty bookstores. Well have to try to get back to this area during the week when there are less people.

Dinner at Brick Lane with Brett, Therese, Sarah, Chris and their friends. Brick Lane is famous for its curries - and the place we ate at was no exception. We stopped off at a couple of pubs on the way home - the amount of smoke in the pubs is awful - I certainly appreciate Australia’s hardline on no smoking indoors even more now.
