A Postcard from Borough Market

Borough Market in London has existed at least since 1014 "and probably much earlier than that" near the southern end of London Bridge.

The morning started out foggy, but then what is London without a bit of fog? By lunchtime the sun had come out on another beautiful, warm day. The market was busy with shoppers and lunchtime diners and I'm sure no one went away disappointed with the great variety of food on offer.

Obviously I still need some work on my selfie technique, but you can sort of see that I enjoyed my wild mushroom and asparagus in wine sauce pie.

 

Doesn't it look like these workers from another time were looking at the shoppers today and wondering what in the world was going on?

  6. Glad you are enjoying your trip. Fog is part and parcel of the weather in England, it does take a bit of getting used to.
