Sunny South Kensington and the Rest of It

Lovely, lovely London. We landed Thursday morning, took the Heathrow Express to Paddington and got straight down to business. I walked the poor boyfriend all over town and we slept like the dead for four nights.






Flowers outside of Liberty
















My old digs






We saw the David Bowie Is... exhibit at the V&A. Pure. Cussing. Magic.




The Chelsea Physic Garden, which was... well, next time we'll do Kew Gardens instead.


Finally got to Columbia Road. Frantic but gorgeous.












I scored a diamond chip ring for £35 at a street market in Camden Passage. Plus, it's the site of a Chipotle. Just imagine the possibilities in that one block.


A morning at Borough Market with friends, followed by an afternoon at Camden Market and Primrose Hill.












Old favorite, Hummingbird Bakery


And new love, Primrose Bakery







Next up: the Loire Valley, that time we lived our rightful place in a chateau.
