Market Hopping

I was sulking and brooding all of last week..about life in general. Fought with Ro, gave him the silent treatment and then on Friday when he asked me to go for a movie with him, i denied and he went on his own...well almost, cos by the time he got to the underground station i called him and he like a sweetheart returned...and then we fought again, that's another story:). I know i should be spanked. In my defence it was that time of the month. When will men ever understand what we go through??????? But anyways, now we are back in love. 
I had to do an article for a magazine on the weekend markets in London and i went market hopping last Saturday . I went all alone (rem the fight?) and enjoyed it thoroughly. It was a marvellous day and i completely took in the sun that hadn't been out whole of last week. I am posting some pics here. Hope you guys enjoy it.

The Old Spitalfields Market


We grabbed lunch at Greenwich Market on Sunday. Also had the yummiest Cheesecake ever.


Remember the movie Notting Hill? Well this is Portobello Market. Most of that movie was shot in and around this area. The travel shop around the corner (from the movie) is still there. It was way too crowded and so i couldnt get a proper pic of that. Its an antique market and you get anything from Vintage clothing to leather to coins to stamps...name it and you get it.





This is Borough Market next to London Bridge. Its a favourite hangout for Ro (his office is near the London Bridge) and he grabs lunch here on most Fridays. You get awesome desserts and yummy pies, tarts, thai food  etc. We picked up our Orange tree from here.
