Borough & Camden Markets

We have had absolutely beautiful weather in England as of late. I'm talking really perfect, sunny spring weather.

Last Saturday my friend Sarah and I decided to take advantage of it and hit up a few famous markets while we were at it. We first went to Borough Market, located around London Bridge which is where the hostel we met at is.

St Patrick's Day

I decided to spent St Patrick's Day in London, rather than Dublin, mostly because I was unsure of what my work situation would be like but also because I hope to see Ireland with warmer weather. In light of that, I spent a pretty low key day in London, but I can assure you the rest of the city centre seemed to party enough for everyone!

I met my friend Sarah at Piccadilly Circus and grabbed one picture. You can't really tell but it was packed full of (mostly drunk) people.

Cotswolds 360*

Okay okay, I know I went to the Cotswolds about a month ago and I'm only just getting around to uploading a little video I took. Anyway, this is just a little video I took standing in one spot in Bibury, it isn't very exciting but it's gorgeous!

I left the sound in to show how quiet it is there, compared to London. I also added a clip of a little duck swimming because he was cute.

Birthday!

Sunday, March 4th was my 23rd birthday.

Cotswolds Picture Post: Bourton-on-the Water & Stratford-upon-Avon

Bourton-on-the-Water was probably the most picturesque village we visited, but because of that, it was packed with tourists and overpriced shops. It was still fun to wander around, though!

Cotswolds Picture Post: Burford & Bibury

Ahhh yes, a relaxing day trip to the English countryside. I came across a Groupon deal too good to pass up: three Cotswold villages, Stratford-upon-Avon, a two-course lunch and creamed tea in the afternoon, all for 39 quid. I met my friend Amanda nice and early last Saturday morning to catch a bus with a very eccentric tour guide and we started our adventure.

I'll start with the big 1000-year old church in Burford. We unfortunately did not get to go inside, but an interesting fact about it is the church is about 10 times bigger than what is necessary for the town's size... Why? Well, all of those indulgences of course! Also because the sheep farmers who made a ton of money before they died basically gave most of it to the church.
