Kensington and Chelsea

[Saturday 17th January]
Today marks nine years (yes nine!) since Chie and I first met. We'd originally planned to go out for a nice Afternoon tea somewhere, but when it came to this morning Chie decided she wasn't really in the mood, so we didn't really do anything much.

We decided to just go out for a meandering stroll, first along the Chelsea embankment, and then eventually through the far end (i.e. Western side) of Chelsea. There were some interesting little streets to wander through which we hadn't really seen before.

From there we wandered Northwards a bit, stopping off for a coffee in the Carluccio's near the Chelsea and Westminster hospital. We then continued to High St Kensington, and popped into Whole Foods Market, as I'd wanted to buy a particular cheese they sold there (called Lord of the Hundreds - a bit like a Pecorino - very nice).

We walked on from there as far as South Kensington and then got the bus the rest of the way home from there.

In the evening we had a strange dinner involving some odd vegetarian schnitzel things we had picked up in Whole Foods, plus a sort of tomatoey bean stew I quickly knocked up, and some hash browns.

Oh and then a cheese board after that, featuring some very good aged Gouda and the sumptious Lord of the Hundreds.
