Mmm, delicious macarons that I. . . didn't make. This morning, Rob and I trundled off to Borough Market, which is London's food market. I'd never been before, and I wasn't terribly impressed. I suppose I ought to be -- and I am quite amazed by its history -- but it's just not well organized enough.
There was actually a lot of open space (because it's nearly December, perhaps?), and I couldn't detect any sort of categorization of the stalls. It would make sense to me to have, say, all the meat vendors in one section (or just leave it at Smithfield Market, for all I care). But no.
We had a nice time, anyway, and walked around the neighbouring area, through Southwark and down to Elephant and Castle (I wanted to share an interesting factoid about that name, but I just did a bit of research and found out that it's actually just a myth. Bah.). Also, Rob got a small blueberry crumble that we brought home and baked. Yum all around.
We are having warming crumble too after our delicious Sunday roast dinner. At least, I think we are. I am going to post this comment and then show the Mermaid King who will then have to cook it for me. Hah!

Wow these look really tasty, making me hungry for baked treats.
