borough market was heaven!!!!! omg i'm sooo making another trip there when i go back in jan. we were walking around trying not to spend money but then we saw them selling FATASS SCALLOPS!! three fat scallops plus bacon & stirfry for FOUR QUID and we relented. aaaah it was so juicy and succulent and just sooo amazing. THEN we stumbled across this jam shop and we were tasting every kind of jam and then we fell in love with the LAVENDER JAM. omg it was the most heavenly, exquisite and special jam i've ever tasted. but the worst thing - only one bottle left :(((( so i bought it, cos leon and wanling live there and the woman would come back anyway.. aahhh that jam. amazing. plus the woman only makes it when lavender is in season - which makes it even more special :)))
Then wandered around.. found ourselves at millenium bridge and to my absolute delight found myself standing outside the legendary TATE MODERN. No time to visit, but will do that next year. Thennnn there was the bankside crafts fair thing and we strolled through that - saw the most beautiful paper-star lamps but didn't buyyyy :( walked to somewhere near leicester square and there was a FUNFAIR wheeeee. Leon tried to win us that huge teddybear with the rifle game (he's a marksman). The card was filled with white stars w red borders and you're supp to hit 3 separate stars without touching the red borders. We spent like 15quid there and there was one where leon hit two smack in the middle but hit the border for the rest, and another where he hit the border by like ONE MILLIMETRE but the man was so rarrgh about it and refused to give us the big brown bear. BOOOOO :(
Thennn wanling went off for dinner with the RJ people. Met Jinfeng Edwin Bertram!! Been ages since I last saw them. aaand leon brought me to some friedchicken place near Holburn. CHERYL - you MUST go. their chicken is real good. it's near the sainsburys we went into to buy your muller corners and it's called cottage chicken. :))
Am having soooo much fun. End of term feels soooo good!
