Took the new camera out last Saturday since it was the hottest weekend of the year. Gloriously sunny and not a cloud in sight.
I still wore a thermal and a coat.
I don’t trust these meteorologists and their optimistic predictions. I especially don’t trust the British weather.
Rule of thumb – always carry a jacket and/or a sweater.
I haven’t been to Borough market since I was a fresh-faced foreigner just off the boat, although there are shots of it on nearly every cooking show – Masterchef and Market Kitchen especially.
I was shamelessly taking photos like a tourist all over the shop. I don’t even look kosher because the camera is so small and clearly not the camera of a professional photographer, but it does the job and 12 Mega Pixels (not just regular big pixels, but ‘Mega’ pixels. I wonder who named it? It’s rather lame.) is a lot of pixels for someone who never prints but likes to imagine she will one day.
A friend bought some Pate and got another one free since the seller was closing for the evening which she then bestowed on to me. So I got some free pate! Better than that Sainsbury’s crap. Smooth, creamy and utterly spreadable on toast. I ate it 2 days in a row.
Anyway here you go, lots of photos. I rarely am able to exercise restraint with a camera in hand.

Free Taste Girl. The Free taste was way too salty. Horrid stuff. I pretended to like it.
Free Taste Green Curry. They were loudly yelling 'Free Taste' for ages. I don't know who was buying.
Pork & Liver. Mmmmm liver looks so good raw.

Purple Flower. Not sure what flower this is.
