  • Fun day yesterday at @boroughmarket with @timbercottage stocking up for a picnic to take on the train to Lyon tomorrow. Obviously the ice cream isn’t going to France but I needed something to sustain me. #picnic #travels #londonlife #londonfood #market

  • Great idea (@theregencycook I’m looking at you! We need to see you in print) Posted @withregram • @mark_diacono Ever fancied writing a book, but didn’t know how to go about it?
