I started out the day icing my poor toe. Then I went down the block to the Notting farmers market and Chedworth Farm Shop all providing local produce. It was so refreshing to see all the local produce and it was so cheap!
I then took a bit of a nap and rested my foot before heading out to explore Kensington and Hyde park. The park was fairly quiet- full of happy dogs running around and trees just starting to bloom. There were two places I wanted to see- the gardens at Kensington place and the memorial to princess Diana. They had a beautiful tulip exhibit in the gardens it was a tribute to princess Diana.
Then I had always heard about the water feature that was a river flowing in Hyde park (once again for princess Diana). I have to say I was very disappointed in it. I expected quite a bit more.
After the park I started to slowly making my way down Sloan street to Partridges champagne bar for a refreshing glass or two before my market tour. The market first booth was full of champagne… so a different type of farmers market and definitely made me miss Jo!
We made our way through the market, but I wouldn’t call it a farmers market as most of the stalls had freshly prepared foods. I had some of my Sicilian favorites… I was really happy!
Then we made our way to Cobble Lane Cured to learn about how they make their products. It was a great little local shop. We enjoyed a brief tour and then some beer and a tasting of the meats. https://www.cobblelanecured.com
The Johnsons 
They call the princess Diana water feature, the drain, b cause that is what it resembles.
Hope the foot is not causing too much trouble.
