broadway markets.

last saturday mother nature shed some sunlight over london. my flatmate mel and i took advantage of this rarity and wandered east along regents canal to london fields to explore the broadway markets

markets in london are just so great and broadway isn't that big but it has the perfect mix of everything you would want to find in a market: cheese, produce, flowers, ready to eat delights, vintage clothing, juice and much, much more not to mention the performers and the people watching. being next to london fields means it's the perfect place to pick up some food and drink and hang out on the grass for a long sunny afternoon.

after making some purchases and indulging in some satisfying treats we hired boris bikes and made our way back along the canal to the angel

blossoms.

lately, london has been overwhelmed with an abundance of gorgeous blossoms blooming in shades of pink, white, green and yellow everywhere you turn

we haven't exactly had the best month in terms of weather, it has rained (with thunder and lightning) pretty much everyday for the past few weeks but the blossoms have been the sunshine in the rain..

these trees take me back to reading and loving this book as a little girl

i wish they would stick around a little bit longer

eating my way around the world.

a big part of travelling for me is trying all the local cuisine. i love food and in my eyes, visiting a place without eating local specialities is not truely visiting a place at all. the holiday recently was no exception, we feasted like royals and really struck it lucky with amazing restaurants and markets

prague - czech style beef tartare

feasting

prague - pork knee with horseradish and mustard, creamed spinach and beans with bacon

vienna - wiener schnitzel - i craved this for days after. so good.

vienna - giant sushi, Gene thinks it's close to the best he's ever had

wasabi face

budapest - goulash

budapest - baked mozzarella

budapest - hungarian burger with homemade bread and fried smoked pork leg. yum.
