I thought of Paris as a beauty spot on the face of the earth, and of London as a big freckle. (James Weldon Johnson)
Hello to all you loyal TSL readers who have hung in there during my hiatus from blog-world! Thanks for sticking around and I do hope you are all well! I’m looking forward to catching up…
LM and I have returned from the northern hemisphere. As one might expect, we over indulged and had four weeks of excess. It was wonderful!
Back to reality in Sydney, and also the start of summer (Mango season has started – yay!) We tootled off to the farmers market yesterday. Great to be back but perhaps not quite as extensive as Borough Market in London…
My cousins gay, he went to London only to find out that Big Ben was a clock. (Rodney Dangerfield)*
*No reason for the quote. Just tickled my fancy, although I do have a gay cousin! Pretty sure he already knows Big Ben is a clock…

I have actually de-boned a rabbit at a charcuterie course at Victor Churchill’s. Not sure about skinning one…

I recently returned home from a trip to Paris as well, though now I’m giving serious thought to going back to London! I missed out on the market while I was there several years ago. It looks amazing!

Hi Jake – did you have a ball? I have to say, having lived in London a couple of times, I was surprised at how much I loved being back. It’s a great town, I reckon’.

Not really, Jo. I am not known for my skills in that area! 🙂 I’m the girl who forgets she has a camera attached to her person… or, the girl whose battery runs out at the beginning of the day…

Hey Sparks! I was so impressed with your blogging even while on the road. Puts me to shame, my friend. One of the nice thing about travelling – I reckon – is how it makes you appreciate coming home. 🙂

Barbra – the Borough Market is out of this world. Being such foodies, you must put it on your list for when you are in London. Every stall holder is so passionate about their produce.
