In some places people bowl for dollars. Or sing for their supper. On Camden Grove Road in London you’ll have to blog for your bed. That’s right, want to stay with Caroline and John? You best have your camera and typing fingers at the ready. It’s a rite of passage. A guest requirement. The tradition starts here and now!
Don’t panic! A wee bit of blogging shan’t make you think twice about a holiday with the Jolly Jobes. Bring a mate. Bring your mum. Not to go across the pond to visit will be one of your life’s follies.
Their flat is fantastic. Picturesque in detail, ideally located among shops and parks, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. There are always pints to be drank and goodies from Whole Foods (Caroline’s home away from home away from home) to be consumed. You will feel very much at home.
Caroline looks wonderful. No belly to speak of, but I did witness her eat that whole plate of waffles (and a side of scrambled eggs).
The person who really might be eating for two is John, who despite looking trimmer than ever (thanks to the walk to the tube and his new wind-proof do), sat next to Caroline in marital solidarity and finished his whole English Breakfast.
On the very same morning (at Fiona’s – where Fiona already treats C&J like regulars) Matt and I fell in love with Piggy Pudding. What could be better than sausage (and the best sausage we’ve had in a LONG time) nestled into a crock of Yorkshire Pudding?
In addition to eating galore, we took advantage of the sunshine on Saturday with a walk through Borough Market (okay yes, there was food here too).
And a visit to Holland Park.
What’s that green bag between the lads? Cupcakes, of course! (Who goes to the park without treats?) We thought of it not as gorging, but more as exploring and supporting the local econ0my. The Cupcake Company is, after all, a stone’s throw from Caroline and John’s home . . .
Matt tried to burn some calories,
But alas, did not get much farther than John’s favorite pub.
Cheers!!
Thanks for a fabulous couple of days C&J – we had a blast!
