This weekend we settled ourselves in our new flat. Some people, including our landlords, are packrats. They tried to do a very nice thing and leave things to "keep it from feeling too bare" when we moved in. It's just that they have a pretty traditionally English view of things, with pictures on every conceivable wall, more furniture in a single room than was in our entire apartment in NY, and overgrown plants on the patio. Let's just say that's not really our style, so we put a few things in storage for them, and hung our own things on the wall. We're a bit afraid we've decorated ourselves out of a flat, but it's how we like it.
We also went to the local Farmer's Market. Quite nice, if not as big as Borough Market. They did have, though these "Candy Beets" which were completely amazing.
The next day I was reading one of the free London papers (of which there are approximately 1,000,000, all competing for your eyes) and there was a story about a guy who spent a week eating only food that had been grown within the reach of the London tube map. Eating local at it's best. Anyway, the photo that accompanied the story was of those very same candy beets.
Meg is off to NY so we're on separate continents again...
