Feast Food Festival

The trip Michael and I took to London luckily coincided with the Feast London food festival (see facebook here, and website here). We had no idea it was going to be there, we didn't plan for it to happen, but we are both quite big foodie's so it was really great to have the chance to go along! When we got to Tobacco Dock it was incredible to see the transformation - there were stalls, fires, heaters, music bands and such a variety food - there were two floors filled!

Obviously and importantly, we had a plan. Browse all the stalls on one quick walk around, decide what took our fancy the most and then go back to the appropriate stations. Michael started off with BBQ pulled pork.

I'm going to put a page break here as there are TONNES of photos but they're definitely worth it, read on...

London 2013, Part One.

It's been over a week since I last posted, what a bad blogger I am! I just hope it hints at how busy I have been... So Michael and I got back from London yesterday, and of course we had a lovely time. There are far too many photo's to share so there will be a couple of posts about the trip :)

On Tuesday, after my lecture, I hopped onto a train and headed south. I met Michael at the tube station and we got a tube to China town as I was craving chow mein! After dinner we took a walk around China Town (looking for a sweet shop we'd found once before) and found a place that sold bubble tea! My London-born housemate insisted we tried one the last time we visited but we couldn't find them, so this time it was certain we needed to try it.

it was nice to leave fog behind!

 my chow mein was amazing

 

I had the one on the left, mango blended with milk, and Michael had a lychee juice one

(I've put a page break in because this is going to be one longggggg post, but please keep reading!)

London Best Bits

This is a follow up post from this one; original, 2nd post, 3rd post.


There are lots of things I loved about London;

1. there is the opportunity to do anything and everything you want
2. walking around the tube/general London, there are lots of nice smelling men*
3. how you don't even need to check what time the next tube is because they're so frequent
4. and how they all join up if you accidentally get onto the wrong one
5. the beautiful architecture
6. that London would be the perfect place to go on a date or to experience a newly formed relationship, so many fun things to do together!
7. there are lots of musicians in the tube stations
8. you have so much to do and it's really tiring so you get a really good nights sleep :)

Lots of beautiful buildings

A funny clock for a builders shop

Cute road art

Mario Kart post-its

Impromptu salvation army band

The museum building

Getting out of a station to lots of football fans and police

Lots of beautiful cupcakes
