One of my birthday presents were delay for a while from Feb to June. It is actually quiet good to have delayed parties throughout the year.... And it was exciting!! We went to the London Dungeon - but I did not get scared, except with the long queue... The darkness of the place made my pupils to strech harder to see things around, and the smell... Oh Gosh, what a horrible smell of damp old wooden houses that place is. But of course, in those days London was like that. Damp and smelly - well, since all is based in true stories.
The best part though of my birthday is that we, my friend and I, got lost and by geting lost we found http://www.boroughmarket.org.uk/ Borough Market. In 12 years here I never knew about this market. It brought me memories of the borough market of Sao Paulo http://www.mercadomunicipal.com.br/home.html
The moment I saw it my mouth watered, my eyes opened wide, my senses highlightened completely. I am not a shopping for clothes type of woman, but I love going fruit/vegetable shopping and there in front of me a whole market only for food. Delicious.
I know market like Spitfields do food as well, but this one is only food, except for a guy who sell plates, but hey, plate has to do with food too.
We went around it and the experience of chat with the stall's owner/sales people, the pleasure of tasting what they had to sell. For me it was all excitiment. I felt very sensuous all the way round because my senses just want to try everything one way or the other:
touch = what was the texture of the cheese
smell= what was the smell of that fruit
taste= what was the taste of the juice
sound = the vendors selling their products and chat to customers
sight = seating down with my friend watching people passing by while eating our lunch and desert.
and heart foundness = was to be there with my friend beside me.
To complement it was kind of raining and for me it made it all the more special
It was a lovely day!!
