Scenes from a Trip

Okay, So when we travel to Europe one of the first things we do is get bread.  Why is bread so much more delicious in other countries? I don't know.  Kind of like there is no better bagel than the New York water bagel.  So we arrive in London in the early AM.  Drop off our bags and head over to Borough market which is probably one of the worlds best outdoor markets.  Despite the cold we managed to stuff ourselves with goodies.

cookies, cookies, cookies and some bacon

A few of us got together this weekend for a sweet little Holiday cookie exchange soiree. Lots of fun, food and laughter.  I love this time of year!

12 or maybe 10 dates of Christmas

1st date of Christmas was a play at the local theater. Pre and Post reception at an adjacent gallery.  Lots of fun, Great show to see if you are local.

A girl, A bus and some tea

So we hadn't planned on going to London this year but we found a really great price on round trip tickets and next thing you know we are in London.  Which is never a bad thing, London has become  one of our favorite cities.

 I love tea,  there was no way I was going to miss the opportunity to have tea in London.  The choices for afternoon tea in London are endless, I mean endless. Sadly, I had to pick just one so I decided to go with a tea bus tour combining sightseeing and afternoon tea with bbbakery.  You actually have tea on a vintage London double decker bus while taking in some of the  major central London Landmarks ( The London Eye, Big Ben, The houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, St. James Park, Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, The Royal Albert Hall, Marble Arch, Piccadilly Circus)   It was an incredibly fun and satisfying experience.
