Misty Morning, Hackney Wick
Jan. 30th, 2012 03:57 pmI dreamt we were standing by the banks of the Lea....
Saturday: To Maltby St market, allegedly the new Borough, although I'm not sure a couple of meat stalls, some veggies and the Kernel beer company is that much competition. It'll be great once it's finished. We did get caught in a cake stand who force fed us samples until we gave in and bought some fridge cake (or crack cake, as they had named it) but still had to go onto Borough to buy cheese as the three fromageries at Maltby St only featured hard and soft cheese, no crumbly, indeed they were all foreign cheese. If there's one thing we do well in this 'ere Britain, it's cheese. Blessed be the cheese-makers.
Sunday: Cycled down to the Hackney Pearl to fill up on calories we had just burnt off. The cold morning made the towpath almost empty, just a few swans and some joggers not yet given up their NY resolutions, although Hackney Marshes was full of footballers playing their last months of matches before The Olympics Experience comes along. Paved football pitch, put up a parking lot.
