Day Twenty Nine.

Another Saturday, so assuming the flat would sleep in, I headed off before eight over to Borough Market, held three days a week, in the shadow of Southwark Cathedral. I enjoyed a full English breakfast in a nearby cafe and then wandered round the market. I love food markets and in this case especially the large range of fungi on sale, the cheeses, the fresh meat, fish and vegetables. There was a stall selling ostrich meat, all the way from Gamston, a small village just outside Retford. I wished I could have been buying some of the produce.
I then hopped over to South Kensington for a quick look in the museums, Science, Natural History and Victoria and Albert. In the Natural History museum I made the mistake of going into the dinosaur section. It was wall to wall kids all having a whale of a time but far too crowded to want to spend too much time in there.
I met up with Sarah in Chinatown, a very small area compared with other Chinatowns in the world, for a very nice Yum Cha lunch.
In the evening I went back into London for another taste of theatre. Same theatre as before for a play "The Sea" by Edward Bond. This was a strange play, set in a seaside village in Edwardian times. The local draper thinks aliens are coming to take over the brains of the villagers! The village is dominated by a haughty woman who lords it over all the population and is partly responsible for the draper having a breakdown. No I didn't completely understand it but I enjoyed the acting of David Haigh (again) and Eileen Atkins and Marcia Warren. (http://arts.guardian.co.uk/theatre/drama/reviews/story/0,,2247491,00.html)
