Last month, I took a day off of work and had a wander around Greenwich Market. It was Pancake Day, which fell just a few days after Valentine's Day in the middle of the month. The morning was sunny and a little chilly, so I had some time to wander around and enjoy the surroundings. I was amazed to see many daffodils already out in bloom; some of the earlier varieties do start to bloom at the end of February. We have had non-stop rain, so perhaps it is forcing everything to come out sooner.
My first stop was to Greenwich Market, and I had a wander around the different stalls and food market.
As it was Pancake Day, my breakfast consisted of pancakes by Planet Pancake. They come in three sizes with different choices of toppings, and I had the small size. It was topped with strawberries and pistachio sauce.
The small size comes with eight miniature pancakes.
I had a sample of fudge at one of the shops inside the market.
The winter punch was still on offer, so I had the Festive Berries punch. I tried one of each, and both were delicious. I didn't have any rum in it, but it was an option.
I wandered around some of the little shops. One shop that I went to last year for some Easter desserts had Valentine's Day cupcakes.
I then found my way around the beautiful buildings at Greenwich and saw the yellow daffodils.
I also discovered some photographs of Greenwich that I had taken in the summer of 2014. I saw this ship in a bottle near the museum.
Greenwich Market looked very much the same but with more market stalls and less food stalls.
With all the rain and cold weather we are continuing to have, I can't wait for spring to hurry a little quicker this year. It's been a very gloomy and depressing time, and I am waiting to see the back of it.
