little miss sandy...

Borough Market

Woohoo for visitor number 2!!

So much fun with Sandy and loved showing her around our pretty little city.

The weekend started off with dinner at a pop-up restaurant.

The Seagrass | Chapel Market

Really good three-course meal for £30 and best part is… BYOB.

Pigeon w/ Mushroom Risotto

Duck w/ Sweet Marmalade (and of course, chips)

Cheese platter and some sort of chocolate delight

And Saturday ended up being a really fun beer-filled day!

First stop: (our fave) Borough Market

UK is an up-and-coming sparkling wine growing region and we had to try a glass.

Meonhill Reserve Brut

Next stop: Greenwich to wander around the park and to see the Royal Observatory. (location of prime meridian)

Onto Greenwich Market and to see the “painted room” at the Naval Academy.

Now, onto the beer –

We had a scheduled Meantime Brewery tour at 7pm,

so stopped into a local pub to get our day started – flights of Meantime!

Girl’s picks – lager, wheat, red and pilsner

Ian’s picks – cali, red, brown and grain

Meantime is one of the largest UK breweries.

Alex (tour guide in love with Sandy) kept the day full of laughs!

For £15 – 2 ½ hour tour and about 5+ ½ pints of beer.

Amazing deal for the money and possibly one of the best tours we've had!

Sunday started out a bit slow, but ended up having the most beautiful weather.

(sunny and almost 70)

We wandered. And wandered. And wandered around the city.

Saw Neal’s Yard (beautiful colorful corner of London) and all of the major sights.

Sandy’s training for a ½ marathon and had to run 10 miles while here.

I ran the first teeny bit with her and then she finished – like a trooper.

Canal running is the best!

quiet, but enough to keep you busy with the people and cyclists
