Typical Posh Londeners We Are

Today Meg and I had what I think comes pretty close to a typical posh Londoner day. We began the day by a simple little gourmet breakfast at home cooked by yours truly. Just a nice little omlette with some great cheese from Neal's Yard, some crusty baguette and coffee and tea, but when done well it is all you need to start the day right! Then straight away we walked from the flat all the way to The Borough Market where we picked up some lovely fixings for the coming week. This is my favourite thing to do in London on a saturday morning. To be out in the city, taking in the Thames Waterway and all the various things you can see along the way, and ending up at this great market full of such great food, is a real sophisticated pleasure that is free to all. I love things like this. Things of quality, available to all. Unfortunately we had to scarf our Organic Wild Boar Sandwiches and hot-foot it back to the flat beacuse as luck would have it, Meg was able to pick up some cancellation tickets for The Producers at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane during the week. So we poshed ourselves up and headed off to see the matinee show. We have not had the chance to get to see a show all year, so this was our one opportunity. We figured that if you're gonna see one show all year, you should bust the bank and see a very well reviewed one. In fact, our reviewers were none other than Claus and Michelle who saw the show during the fall and said it was basically the best show they had seen in London in 3 years. Afterwards we just walked up Drury Lane to the Lowerlander Grande Cafe for dinner. At this cafe they have some spectacular Belgian beers on draft and some of the best reasonably priced pub fare I have had in London. It was so nice to just chill at the pub, and chat about the show. I had Moules Frites and Meg had an organic Scottish beef burger. The chips (French Fries) were amazing as usual. We floated home arm in arm, and as if the stars were alligning for us to create the perfect end to the typical posh London day we sat down to find Notting Hill on television. So if you're ever looking for a schedule to put together your own typical posh London day just follow this theme: market, show, pub, and film. I guess you should try and stuff a museum in there somewhere. Oh well, we'll have to give it another go!
