Look - this is me in Covent Garden!



Tea Rose explained how in this area, the Abbey or Convent of St. Peter, Westminster, maintained a large kitchen garden throughout the Middle Ages to provide its daily food. Over the next three centuries, the monks' old "convent garden" became a major source of fruit and vegetables in London.  Today  Covent Garden is the only part of London licensed for street entertainment with performers who must audition to perform there.  The central building houses cafes and shops selling clothes, toys and novelty items.  Here I am checking them out.



Here I am again, looking at some postcards



Friedrich and I took a seat for a while to rest



before moving on to see what else London had to offer.



We stopped for a coffee afterwards to recharge before continuing our walk.  But the cup was almost big enough for me to swim in!  Don't worry - I stayed on dry land.
