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!

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?

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
