250 years of Borough Market

Saturday was the 250 year of the Borrough Market near London Bridge. In celebration of 250 years, they asked people to dress as they would have 250 years ago. That led to the above sighting of two ladies chatting next to normal shoppers who looked remarkably slovenly. The market was HEAVING with people but I went in anyway just to get the feel.

Once you are inside you see things like this display of prize winning apples in the national Fruit-off--I'm joking but it did have a name like that. The notice tells you the best things about the prize winning Egremont Apple such as it was first recorded in 1872 and it has "rather dry flesh with a rich nutty flavor."
