The Photographer’s Gallery visited this morning.it’s tucked away just off Oxford Street. Then clothes shopping. Then Tate Modern briefly, before meeting my great niece Ellie at Borough Market.
I’m knackered and just having a coffee before tubing it across town to Ealing to meet Nu
I had a Ginger Pig scotch egg for lunch.
I could hardly carry it
Yay! Glad you're enjoying your visit. This weekend I'm living vicariously through you!
ReplyDeleteYou've certainly packed a lot into your visit. You'll need another holiday to get over it all! Glad you're enjoying it with people you love. xx
ReplyDeleteOne word; rough. X
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if John would be offended if I commented: Beauty and The Beast? (So I decided to go ahead).
DeleteIt's tiring packing in so many nice things but so worth it! Your great niece has a lovely smile.
ReplyDeleteDid you buy anything at the market or just wander?
I hope that no passing strangers imagined that Ellie was your carer!
ReplyDeleteMore likely to think he was a cradle snatcher o
Deleteor her sugar daddy.
John is much to vibrant and good looking to look as if he needs a carer.
How nice to be able to spend a little time with your niece Ellie. You really are squeezing in a lot on this trip and it all sounds like fun! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteDid you buy a tee shirt John and fetching new under crackers by any chance?x
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great day.
ReplyDeleteAnother fully packed day with lovely Ellie and then Nu! I, too, wondered if you bought anything (framed, ceramic, wearable, or ...) in the shops to take home?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Hugs!
Sounds delightful
ReplyDeleteRe "great niece" do you mean that she is your great-niece, i.e. the daughter of your niece or nephew (are you old enough for that?), or just that she is your niece and she is great?
ReplyDeleteYou're having a good trip! I would love to see the galleries
ReplyDeleteAt a first glance, I thought you said you went clothes shopping at Tate Modern...the mind boggles! Grayson Perry meets Tracy Emin?!
ReplyDeleteI have always fancied going to Borough Market. Glad you're having fun.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun weekend. I envy you, enjoying this outing alone. I looked up the Ginger Pig and also found this list of the other Best Scotch Eggs in London. So you can try them all out.

All peaceful then.
ReplyDeleteWe've never been to the Borough Market. Not sure we ever will now.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be having a very good time. Enjoy your time away. Holidays work wonders to refuel us for dealing with the day to day living we experience. Be happy, have fun and enjoy yourself to the fullest.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember when I was last in London. I lived there in the 60's, but haven't been back much since. I envy you.
ReplyDeleteI was going to ask what a Ginger Pig Scotch egg was, so thanks Lizzy D! I'm wishing we could be over there, but we have to settle for your descriptions. What a beautiful smile your g-n Ellie has.
ReplyDeleteRead his next post flis, new under crackers wouldn't be high on his priority list!
