We spend Sunday wandering around Greenwich Market.
To get there we walk through the University of Greenwich which is the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College, the centre piece of the Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage Site. The University has a 150 year lease on parts of three of the four Royal Courts and is breathtaking. Walking by the music wing one can hear wafts of music floating in the air.
Soon we enter the well known Greenwich Market.
There are all types of wares. My favourite was the jeweller making
bracelets from old silver forks, spoons, and fish knives right there in front of us.
The market is relatively small compared to its reputation.
We wander the streets of Greenwich to find a few more open air markets selling what looks like "grandma's old things".
It is a sunny day and we wander up the Thames. It seems we are not alone.
There is a huge military ship docked in the river. Can you see the helicopters sitting on the front deck?
We pass another small market with candy.
A close up just to get your saliva glands going.
We wander through Greenwich and find a great little pub with the most amazing meals that we hunker down to with friends for several hours. Sigh, what a nice day.
