Borough Market

A bit London-centric with this post, but I just have to write about how fabulous this market is!

I went there for the first time today with my newest BFF Lesley, and it was her first time too. The place is dead easy to get to, Jubilee Line to London Bridge tube station, come out of the Borough High St exit, and the market is right there.

Whenever I go to Spain I always seek out the local food markets, like the gorgeous one in Barcelona just off the Ramblas, or the terrific one in Valencia, yet all this time, there's been the most amazing food market right under my nose in South London!!!!!

It was very busy, I suspect due to a crappy early Easter weekend with snow and rain and gawd knows what, and the bonus of it being under cover. There were lots of tourists videoing the cheeses... I'm partial to a nice bit of Stilton myself but never felt the need to film it!

There was a very cute man with an even more cute pug puppy who became a side show in itself! He'd drawn quite a crowd, even the cheese porn movie makers momentarily directed their lenses towards the most adorable puppy I've ever seen. Sadly the man had a girlfriend, so I only got to stroke the pug.

There was another very handsome man on one of the juice stalls, who gave me a free cup of hot honey, lemon, ginger and various other scrummy ingredients...I've never flirted with a beverage maker before, it obviously pays off!

Anyway, it was all wonderful and I got lots of delicious berries for my breakfast porridge, and some strawberry honey made by Italian Monks, and had the most wonderful time.

Next time you're in town check it out!
