Today's themes were consumption and culture....we started off with about four hours of eating our way around the East End on a food tour. My top four stops involved bread pudding, a bacon and fresh buttered bread sandwich, a bagel with salted beef, and curry (the lamb!). The East End was a delight to walk with a hipster vibe, street art, spitalfields market, and lots of interesting immigration history.
We went west from there and did some good old-fashioned serendipitous wandering in Soho and Covent Garden. Jessica was drawn to the garden benches and spring blooms, we all enjoyed seven sundials and Neal's Yard.
After a quick visit to the Palace we sat for a beauiful (and ritzy) tea. The tea worked wonders warming and relaxing us from the long day, and we did our best to gossip and be waited upon with all the best manners.
Another lovely day! We turned in earlier than usual with an early wake-up call ordered for a day in the country tomorrow.
