London Blues Buster - Borough Market


See?  Another post in solidarity with all those of you still shivering in the cold.  


Actually, I realized that these pics have been buried a bit in my I-files.  So I'm making it an English week.  Since I have no idea what the Corner View theme is this week.


Anybody up for a visit South of the River, to Borough Market, in London?


This is an especially festive place for a pre-Christmas visit.


It is a guaranteed blues busting outing.  As long as you are warm and dry, a little hungry, and feeling fresh.


Cause it's a shlep to south of the river!


But now that you've made it, how do you feel?


Having a Tiny Tim moment?  ("God Bless Us Everyone!")


Here in this land of plenty?


How often do you get to see brussels sprouts looking like this?


You will have plenty of options for stuffing your gob.  Most will be satisfying and warming.


And once out on the streets again.


It will be hard to ever see London


in the same way.......... again.
