greenwich

the brief was, well, brief. "book nice lunch outside london", she said. we'd done petersham nursery the last time and it was hard to top. chanced upon the telegraph in putney and had considered that but felt it a tiny cop out as it wasn't really "outside london" (then again, what would they've known!) so greenwich it was. passed it on the thames boatride a few weeks ago, and had heard good things from C, an italian friend who'd visited with her husband. also, seemed silly to have been based in london for four years and not ventured that way yet. had a pub lunch then made the most of being in a new place (haha, so desperate for new adventures) and spent the afternoon mosey-ing around. lovely views from the observatory, the maritime museum was cute, as was cutty sark, gelato from black vanilla and greenwich market looked suspiciously like the wannabe ethnic market at brick lane. sort of formulaic stall mix but if you're not discerning it's not half bad.
