A sunny afternoon in Islington

Mr S and I decided to brave the Olympic crowds (well I had been doing it all week anyway) and head in to London to celebrate my birthday with some close friends.

We headed to the beautiful area of Islington and started off with some delightful Turkish food, Aubergine stuffed with chick peas, peppers and tomatoes big yum!

Having left the menfolk in a pub to watch the start of the Murray game, we went off to explore the lanes of Islington. Unfortunately it being a Sunday meant that some of the antique shops where closed and I have put myself on a self imposed teacup buying ban as my space for storage is becoming extremely restricted ( I can't turn round without the risk of knocking a teacup or teapot).

Trust us to run across a shop full of teacup but fortunately it was closed so I was not forced to test self restraint.

We arrived back at the pub in time just to see Murray win his gold in the men's single so with that we thought it would only be fitting to toast Murray's success with a frozen yoghurt from Samba Swirl.

A perfect Sunday afternoon- food and teacups
