Notting Hill

Oddly enough, Notting Hill was not on a hill, at least not as far as I could tell. Soon after lunch in Soho, we traversed town via the Northern line to the Circle line and then headed down towards Portobello Road towards the market.

The top of the road begins with antiques and progresses to fresh fruit and vegetable stands. Though Monday isn't really the best market day per se and the weather did not appear to be cooperating with blustery winds and rain on occasion that afternoon, it was enjoyable to wander up and down the streets with Suzanne talking about reality TV, poker, screenwriting, sports and mutual friends.

Since she was staying there with a family, she was familiar with the terrain. She took us to the famous Travel Bookshop featured in the movie, Notting Hill. That as well as concluding our visit with delicious cupcakes at Hummingbird Bakery made this a delightful visit in this corner of London. We sampled the following flavors: vanilla, red velvet, carrot cake, and cream cheese chocolate. For a little taste of light fluffy deliciousness, try it out the next time you're in London.

That's the bit between taking drugs and being hungry.
