Well, we've now been here two and a half months, and we're still surviving. More than surviving, actually! We try to get out and about in London once a week (usually Saturday), and for the past couple of weekends, the weather has been kind to us. On the 30th of October, we went for a walk to Covent Garden, went to the markets there, and enjoyed some street entertainment. We stopped off at TGI Friday's (American-style steakhouse) for a really yummo and fun feed. Then it was off to the Strand for some window shopping (see picture).
I (Natalie) am trying some more adventurous dishes when I get the time. This week I picked up some fresh blackberries from a fruit stall and made a pie with them (well, with the ones I didn't eat on the walk home, anyway). It was my first attempt at making a pie from scratch, and it turned out very well. I will have to keep my eye out for more cooking possibilities...
The other photo below is of Mecklenburgh Square (where we live). This one faces our building (the one nearest the third street lamp, far down the road). This photo is a few weeks old - with the advent of colder weather, the leaves have started to turn autumn colours and cover the footpaths.
