L is for London & Being Lazy October 1, 2009

Rather than work hard in the garden this weekend, we spent it in London….but it was the most gorgeous weekend…again! Whats going on with the fab weather?

Zetter Roof terrace
We stayed at a little hotel in Clerkenwell, and had this wonderful roof terrace. Mr Veg and I agreed that to live in London and not have a roof garden would drive us insane!!! And Mr Veg breaks out in a rash if he even steps into the garden!

I was absolutely desperate to go to Columbia Road Market but we never got there. I’ve seen it on the TV, and it looks great, although me travelling on the tube full to the brim with bargains plants was never really going to be an option, so instead we headed for the National Histrory Museum.

They have something called the Cocoon which has all sorts of stored bugs and plants – its all very interesting….just not surrounded by a million kids and their stressed parents. FUN!!!

Impressive building though.

I like the wheel thing too – looks a bit boring for my liking!

    I think you spoke too soon, Cat. It’s drizzly here today.
    It’s a good few years since we’ve been to London. I think I put the kids off it as I had them doing so much walking. We went to the Natural History Museum too, it’s very interesting.
    I’m researching my family history and I’m stuck on my hubby’s side of the family. His great grandmother was born in Clerkenwell, and it’s her that I’m stuck on.
