Food Tripping in London

A kiosk in St. Pancras train station

The street leading to Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese

From Wikipedia:  Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese is an old public house in the City of London, England, located at 145 Fleet Street, on Wine Office Court.

The real fish and chips include a whole fish!  This is Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese's version.

If I remember correctly, this is chicken.

I don't remember what this is. :)

Notting Hill...Remember this from the movie? :)  

Geale's version of fish and chips.

 Geale's is in Notting Hill and Chelsea Green. It is London's favourite fish restaurant.

Zizzi Ristorante

Antipasti...the pasta here is good for sharing!

 

Trying other variants not yet in the Philippines. :)

Near Piccadilly Circle...when you can't eat anywhere else...:)

Seasons

At some point, you learn

That words are woven into stories,

Stories into lies,

And lies can make up a life;

That lies can make up a man;

That duplicity is contagious

As bad company corrupts good character.

At some point, you learn

That a coloured face can be a façade

And beneath is a can of worms

Feeding on nicks and cuts,

Picking on fresh, bloodied wounds

That will heal or won’t heal-

Only time can tell.

At some point, you learn

That a smile is just a mask;

That a hollow smile belies

The tempest in the heart –

Of rage, madness, and love,

Choosing different shades of grey

Over blacks and whites.

At some point, you learn

That an enemy multiplies kisses

But a friend’s wounds can be trusted;

That you hurt those you love,

And you’re hurt by those you love,

But you love anyway

Because you were loved first.

Love overcomes,

Looks beyond,

Overlooks the façade, the worms,

And heals.

And that Love is neither grey

Nor black nor white

But is red, scarlet

And turns your scars

As white as the snow

And makes you a new creation.

At some point, you meet Someone

Who sweeps you off your feet,

Promises you eternity,

And leaves a permanent mark on your soul.

Say “yes” and you are changed.

Forever.

Abbey Road

I hate extremes – winter and summer so I thought I’d choose between spring and fall.  These seasons would just be right, no layering of clothes or blistering heat to deal with.  But spring in London can be bitingly cold.  Even with four layers of clothes, two layers of socks, mittens, and bonnets, the cold drills down to my bones…but London is where my heart is…so forget about the extreme weather, the layering, or hay fever…the walking continues… 

The exact pedestrian lane on Abbey Road that the Beatles crossed.
