Christina and I had impromtually seen a play at
Shakespeare's Globe, Under the Black Sun, the night before. It was about Long John Silver and the story was a fictitious telling of his life leading up to losing his leg. Twas a bit strange but entertaining, with some nudity and lots of singing, but the real attraction is the venue. We had standing tickets so it was nice and cheap, although a little tiresome by the end or 3 hours (including an interval), especially in heels.London comes alive on a sunny summer day. And yesterday was a beautiful Saturday!
Chris and I met up again and went to Borough Markets near London Bridge. We were on a mission to put togehter a yummy picnic to take to Fruitstock. I was very excited just looking at the yummy food. Plus, I recalled watching a Jamie Oliver episode last year in my living room at home where he goes shopping in Borough Markets to collect ingredients for his cooking session. There's the usual mixture of stalls of 'raw ingredients' like butchers, fruit and veggie shops but also ready to eat foods, like a chorizo burger/wrap, venison burgers, lots of delicious-looking patisserie cakes, bread and cheese... so much choice for a hungry stomach!!
With our bags filled, we headed to Regent's Park for Fruitstock. Organised by Innocent drinks (exactly like our Nudie drinks at home - even the bottles look the same but with a different colour lid), it is a free music festival. With the weather being so nice I think everyone had the same idea and it was packed. It was a great afternoon just chilling in the sun listening to live music and people-watching.
- the first 3 are at Fruitstock with half of London
- Borough Markets and one of the fruit stalls
- Next is a photo of a pub next to the markets that was used in the Harry Potter films as the outside of the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley.
- And the last one located just 2 shops down from the pub; was my florist. What a daggy thing to take a picuture of, but it had to be done... don't roll your eyes; you've all done it!
