A Day in London

We have spent a lovely day in London, strolling around. I enjoy just snapping shots here and there.

 Maltby Street Market  is in Bermondsey and within walking distance of London Bridge station...lots of interesting food stalls and some nearby markets stalls selling second hand stuff

 I'm usually lagging behind the boys with my camera and I just follow them from one eating place to another...they know all the best places to go

 The Shard

 Lovely cake stall at Borough Market

 London Bridge

I Love My Boys!!

Next Sunday we are travelling to South Africa to visit our eldest daughter and her family, they have set up and run http://www.project-o.org/ which is a Christian ministry caring for children orphaned through Hiv/AIDS here is their blog http://literallyalifeline.blogspot.com/

So today I went into London to meet up with our sons before we go, my husband couldnt join me because he was running the 'Dad's & Toddler' group at church. This is an old photo of my sons taken last year...I didnt manage to get one today. It is always great to meet up with them they know all the best paces to visit and our trips always include lots of food stops! We met at Borough Market and bought a coffee in Monmouth then popped in next door for a cake from Konditor & Cook We then walked along the South Bank, calling into the Tate Modern as we passed. After this Dominic went home to his wife and Ben and I continued into town, stopping at The Milkbar in Soho for a toasted salmon and cream cheese bagel. We hiked along Regent Street and stopped to look at the beauiful flowers on sale at Liberty. We looked around a couple of shops before I jumped on a number 10 bus back to Euston station to get the train home. Yet another great day out in London with my boys!!

Birthday, Borough & Bluebells

My birthday began with a trip to Borough Market at London Bridge to meet up with our youngest son and DIL for coffee and a Danish pastry. Borough is a facinating place, selling lots of interesting produce. Check out the website http://www.boroughmarket.org.uk/ This was followed by a wander around Oxford Street then home for fish & chips! I had had a lovely birthday supper at the home of friends from church on Friday evening. After church today we went to see the bluebells at Ashridge, shame it was raining but I managed a few photo's. Below are the lovely flowers that my daughter sent me.Next week we are going to Ales to visit my sister and her husband and then thats it done for another year!
