Green green grass of home

Did you know we've been away?

We got back from a month in Australia at 5:00 am this morning having been travelling for 30 hours.

Just before we went away we had artificial grass 'laid' in our courtyard which has really transformed it - even Saffie approves of it.

Our journey begins on the blog when we have caught up on our sleep - don't go away!

London Pub Walk 6

Back through Smithfield Market to our final stop.

Interesting mention of 'the wife sale' where men brought their unwanted wives to sell

Strange assortment of phone boxes?

20 yards away to our next stop...

Look at those London prices!

Next, to the church of St.Bartholomew The Great

You have to pay to go in here so we just stuck our noses through the door!

Smithfield Market

Next stop, The Hand & Shears

Lunch...

London Pub Walk 3

Inside the Viaduct Tavern - all very shiny!

The walk was around the Smithfield area of London.

We started off at Ye Olde Mitre which was down a tiny alley between numbers 9 and 10 Ely Place
