well, not actually the last day, but a hodge
podge of fotos. however, it IS the last post from
our december visit!!
i had the pleasure of meeting and having a lovely
lunch with sarah. she’s living my dream life, getting
a doctorate at cambridge AND also writing historical
fiction in the elizabethan era that i REALLY want to read.
i hope some smart editor buys her novel(s) soon!!!
mmm. the english fudge stand at camden town!
camden town is one of my favorite markets!
here, diners sit on moped seats along the
camden loch. i couldn’t find the antiques section
of camden town. was searching very hard for it
to find…a tarot card reader. yes! i had a very
interesting reading by her in september 2007
about my writing career. but she wasn’t meant to
be found! boo.
and no, i don’t usually get tarot readings. my best
friend and i did it on a lark and then got scared
by how accurate she was. haha!
fruits made from marzipan in the food hall at
harrod’s! also glimpses of turkish delights–which
i always buy. i love their turkish delights!
walking from piccadilly to leicester square.
a fancy version of the english breakfast.
always a favorite indulgence while on holiday
in england! just say no to bacon! i never eat the
stuff. bleah!
and this was a foto from our last day in london.
the bubs near liverpool street station. =)
have been working diligently to prepare for our art
show in balboa park’s spanish village in mid march!

It seems you had such a fun last day, and Leicester Square looks so pretty!
sandy, i love london and had so much fun! it was miserable cold but the x’mas decorations were up! =D
Cindy, how can you not eat bacon?? That’s like saying you don’t like chocolate :P. Madness!
Bugger.
These photos make me fiercely homesick.
Can I ask: what’s wrong with the bacon? Is it made differently in England, or do you just not like bacon to begin with? After all, I know how you *luv* the phallic-like sausages. :)
What a wonderful trip. The fudge stand sounds like a yummy place to visit. :)
argh. your blog is like food porn. there should be some kind of pop-up warning before i am allowed to view the page. “content not appropriate for people with pastry habits.”
david and rebecca, it’s the fat. i hate anything with fat like obviously this is some meat and here’s the slab of fat with it. blech.
the american version the fat is at least crunchy. from what i can gather, the english version, it’s not crunch which means even more fatty. ewww.
sue you need to go visit home soon!!
moonie, haha! sorry!!!
