The family comes to London: St. Paul's Cathedral

Two weeks ago, while they were visiting, I took my family to Borough Market! We had a blast wandering around looking at all of the amazing treats, and we ended up getting three savory pies for lunch from the Pieminister: the big cheese (cheddar, potatoes, onions, and garlic cream cheese), wild mushroom and asparagus (with shallots and white wine), and the heidi pie (goat cheese, sweet potato, spinach, and roasted garlic). We also shared a tasty Greedy Goat raspberry/chili and lime/sage goats milk ice cream! So yummy!

After the market we walked to St. Paul's church, where we took the tour and climbed to the top for some stunning views of the city! We ended the day with high tea (aka dinner) at Bea's of Bloomsbury (blackcurrent and hibiscus tea, cupcakes, and sandwiches? yes, please) and an evening Broadway show: Billy Elliot! The show was absolutely amazing, and I totally reccomend it. I can't believe how talented the kids in the cast were!
