• Day 1 in London

    May 17, 2025 in England ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    Woke up bright and early. First stop was to take a load of laundry. The man reckoned it was a large bag and it cost us £25!!! That’s $50!!!! OK…stop converting currency Christine. 😡

    Next stop was the Borough Markets. A gorgeous farmers market with yummy food, fruit and vegetables. I was in my happy place. Got some great ideas for cooking up some goodies. Vegechilli! Vegemite and Chilli. Paul reckons we’d make a killing.

    I had the yummiest wild mushroom risotto made from whole grain spelt. Guess what’s going in my next Mushroom risotto kit!

    Got back from our morning outing, just enough time for a little rest and then back out again to His Majesties theatre to watch the Phantom of the Opera. I don’t have the words to describe it. I was so blown away by the quality of the production. The talent was incredible, the sets were incredible, the costumes were incredible. The best was being able to take our drinks in with us. Same trouble we have in Oz though…not enough toilets for the girls during the break. Sigh!

    We’ve done over 15k steps today. I’ve hit a wall! Keeping myself awake till 8pm so I can go to sleep.

    Raspberries, mango and bananas for dinner. Oooh my diabetes loves me. ❤️
