Xmas lights and Seasonal Veg

Swede, Parsnip, Brussel sprouts, Turnip, Onion, Garlic, Pumpkin, Beetroot and Sweet Potato.. Tonight we will enjoy these wonderful winter root vegetables :) bought fresh from Borough Market yesterday afternoon. For the first time since moving to the UK I am looking forward to the dark and cold winter season. And it may be due in part to this blog - which allows me to reflect on the things we do and how they are shaped by the seasons.

On Friday evening, we made our way to Oxford and Regent Street - in the rain - to see the Xmas lights. The rain meant there were less people on the street, but the lights were a bit of a dissappointment.
Afterwards, with soaked feet, we had a fabulous dinner at Marsala Zone near Covent Garden. We came across this place while walking home a few weeks earlier and really enjoyed the food. It took us 30 mins to find it this time since neither of us actually took note of exactly where it was :) As before, we both had thalis for mains washed down with a bottle of red. This time we also shared a gol guppa (tamarind biscuits with corriander dressing) for starters and pistachio ice-cream for dessert.. all for 40 quid - not bad...
