Winter days in Bristol

This year's winter has been mild. It hasn't snowed at all but we have had plenty of rainy and windy days that make you just want to curl up with a cup of tea at home. Here are some photos from my phone when I do manage to get out and take walks and/or spend time with friends here.

The world at the London Borough Market

I love going to the Borough Market because it is a place where peoples and cultures from all over the world gather and it is such a happening place: fresh smells sweet and savoury baked goods, seafood, coffee, etc and seeing the smoke from the grills rising to the air, shop keepers giving out samples of their food, cutting the cheese, weighing the vegetables, pouring tea, and shoppers making their ways through the colourful market filled with the best of foods from a variety of cultures. I just really love this kind of place because I love people-watching and I've always thought food is an excellent starting point to get to know a new culture and people.
