Borough Market - a day on the South Bank


Ken took the day off and joined Christine, Mark and I in taking the train to Borough Market, underneath London Bridge.  We had never been there and it was a real treat.  Amazing foods for sale.  We sampled (and bought) olives at a stall with dozens of different olives.  Mark bought a carrier bag.  We all sampled cheeses, sausages, breads, jams, chutney, fish.....Yum!

We each bought different things to have for lunch and ate in outside at Southwark Cathedral's tea room area. Christine and I had 'salad in a box' complete with mango, sesame seeds, gammon, loads of tomato..... Mark had a spicy chicken wrap and Ken had a Caribbean curry.  We were all very happy with our choices.

We all strolled along the South Bank as the weather was, once again, warm and cooperative.  Mark bought a t-shirt at The Globe.  We went as far at the Tate Modern, stopping to see a few galleries.

After we took the train home, we took a lasagne and salad over to Katrina's for another family dinner.  Annie, Will and Ewan joined us, so it was another festive gathering.
